Heidi solved the equation 3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4). Her steps are below: 3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x – 20 3x + 14 = 5x – 18 14 = 2x

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)

Step 1: distributive property

3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)

3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20

Step 2: collect like terms

3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20

3x + 14 = 5x - 18

Step 3: Addition property of equality

3x + 14 = 5x - 18

3x + 14 + 18 = 5x - 18 + 18

3x + 32 = 5x

Step 4: subtraction property of equality

3x + 32 - 3x = 5x - 3x

32 = 2x

Step 5: division property of equality

32 = 2x

32/2 = 2x/2

16 = x

x = 16

Put y+7=1/2(x+2) in standard form <br> Standard form: Ax+By=C

My name is Ann [436]

$y+7=\frac{1}{2}(x+2)\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\2y+14=x+2\ \ \ \ |subtract\ x\ and\ 2\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-x+2y+14-2=0\\\\-x+2y+12=0\ \ \ \ \ |change\ signs\\\\\boxed{x-2y-12=0}$
