Question

Match the properties with the steps to solving the following equation. (8.x – 6) = x + 9

Answer 1

Answer:

8x - 6 = x + 9 : Given

7x - 6 = 9 :Subtraction property of equality

7x = 15 : Addition property of equality

x = 15/7 : Division property of equality

x = 2.143

Step-by-step explanation:

Match the properties with the steps to solving the following equation.

(8x - 6) = x + 9

8x - 6 = x + 9 : Given

8x - x - 6 = x + 9 - x

7x - 6 = 9 :Subtraction property of equality

7x - 6 + 6 = 9 + 6

7x = 15 : Addition property of equality

7x/ 7 = 15/7

x = 15/7 : Division property of equality

x = 2.143
