You first want to get rid of 2, so you divide two on both sides canceling the two on the left and getting x-1=5. then you add 1 to both sides getting x=6. Hope this helps!

1) Distribute the 2 to x and -1. You get: 2x - 2 = 10

2) Add 2 to both sides of the equation. You get:
2x = 12

3 Divide both sides by 2.
You get: x = 6

Which method correctly solves the equation using the multiplication property of equality and the reciprocal of One-third? One-th

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation $\frac{1}{3}(x+9) = -12$

Step 1;

Expand the bracket at the right hand side of the equation to have:

$\frac{1}{3}x +\frac{1}{3}(9) = -12\\\frac{1}{3}x+3=-12\\subtracting\ 3\ from\ both\ sides\\\frac{1}{3}x+3-3=-12-3\\\frac{1}{3}x=-15\\$

Taking the reciprocal of both sides:

$\frac{3}{x} = \frac{-1}{15} \\ cross\ multiplying\\-x =45\\x=-45$
