Question

Erma solves an equation by first subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation. She then divides both sides by 8 and finds the solution. Which of the following gives the properties of equality that she used and their correct order?

Answer 1

This is the concept of algebra, to get the inequality we proceed as follows; Erma subtracted 8 from both sides and divided both sides by 8 so that we can get the value of the unknown. The the properties used were:

Subtraction properties of inequality, which states that:
if a<b, then a-c<b-c

Division properties of inequality, which states that:
if a<b, then a/c=<b/c
