What is the justification for the step taken from line 2 to line 3?
2 answers:
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the line 2, only variables were operated with a reduction of similar terms in each side of the equation, giving as result -4x at one side, and 2x at the other side.
- In the line 3, terms with variables were joined together in one side of the equation, and then, they were operate it, given as result -6X.

3x - 6 = 7x + 18
(Move terms)
3x - 7x = 18 + 6
(Collect the terms)
(Calculate the sum)
-4x = 24
(Divide both sides by -4)
x = -6
(Move terms)
3x - 7x = 18 + 6
(Collect the terms)
(Calculate the sum)
-4x = 24
(Divide both sides by -4)
x = -6
