Answer:
x/8
Step-by-step explanation:
7x/56=x/8
A sequence of operations that will get you to the solution is ...
... d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side
_____
That is not the only correct sequence of operations. However the other ones listed here are incorrect ways to get to x = -10.
You can do whatever multiplication and addition you like to each side of the equation, but if those operations are poorly chosen, they will make finding the solution more difficult.
1) 9x + 2 = x + 5 ---> 9x + 2 = 6
subtracted X from one side but not the other
2) 3(x-4) + 5 = 12 ---> 3x + 4 + 5 = 12
didn't distribute correctly: 3(x-4)
multiplied the X by 3 but not the -4
The correct answer is D (80,-30)
