Question

If an equation does not need the distributive property, what should you look for next?

Answer 1

Answer:

Proceed the next step, then. Whether it is sum/subtract the addends, whether it is subtract. Then isolate the variable, aiming to find out the quantity of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an equation whose product does not need the distributive property, then the factors have already been distributed. And

Visualizing it

Suppose the following equation:

$3(x+2)=4$

Now let's focus the following step, that point of the question, when the equation does not need the distibutive property:

3x +6=4

3x+6 -6=4-6

3x=-2

3x/3=-2/3

x=-2/3

S={-2/3}

Answer 2

I would say to look for any like terms to combine, looking at the range of different variables and terms on both sides of the equation.
