Question

Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the equations in order from least to greatest bed on their solution. Equation A: 5( x-6)+3x=3/4(2x-8) Equation B: 2.7(5.1x+4.9)=3.2+28.9 Equation C: 5(11x-18)=3(2x+7)

Answer 1

Answer:

B

C

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of x in each equation then compare the solutions from the least to the greatest

In A

5( x-6)+3x=3/4(2x-8) ------------Open brackets

5x-30+3x=3/2x-6

5x+3x-30=3/2x-6

8x-3/2x=-6+30---------------collect like terms

16x-3x=48

13x=48-----------------dived both sides by 13

x=48/13 = 3.7

In B

2.7(5.1x+4.9)=3.2+28.9-------------open bracket

13.77x+13.23=32.1

13.77x=32.1-13.23---------------collect like terms

13.77x=18.87

x=18.87/13.77----------------------divide both sides by 13.77

x=1.37

In C

5(11x-18)=3(2x+7)--------------------open brackets

55x-90=6x+21

55x-6x=21+90-----------------------collect like terms

49x=111----------------------------------divide both sides by 49 to get x

x=111/49 = 2.27

From the solutions, the least value of x is in B, then C ,and finally A
