Answer:
1) The last option is your answer. It is not the same equation as the others when rearranged.
2) 1/3(12x - 24) = 16
4x - 8 = 16
4x = 16 + 8
4x = 24
x = 6, the second option.
3) Notice they are subtracting the constant term of 5 from both sides. Since it's subtraction, your answer is the second option.
4) 3/5(30x - 15) = 72
18x - 9 = 72 or 3(6x - 9) = 72
18x = 72 + 9
18x = 81
x = 81 / 18
x = 4.5
The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th options are all that apply.
5) 2/3(6x + 12) = - 24
4x + 8 = - 24
4x = - 24 - 8
4x = - 32
x = - 8
The 1st, 6th, and 8th options are all that apply.
