-18a+17b is the answer because you multiply by -1 to each
Answer:
I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.
For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.
For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.
For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.
For D: No idea what the point is.
Answer:
x = 5/2
x = 2 1/2
x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 1 - (x + 3) = 1
3x - 1 - x - 3 = 1
2x - 1 - 3 = 1
2x - 4 = 1
2x = 1 + 4
2x + 5
2x = 5
x = 5/2 → 2 1/2 → 2.5 ( can be written in any of these forms depending on what you need to do)
