Question

1 What is an appropriate "2nd step" when solving the equation below? 2/3x - 8= 12 Add 8 to each side. Divide both sides by 3. Multiply both sides by 2. Multiply both sides by 3/2.

Answer 1

Answer:

multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$ x - 8 = 12

first step

Add 8 to both sides

$\frac{2}{3}$ x = 20

second step

Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ to clear the fraction

x = $\frac{3}{2}$ × 20 = 30
