Question

Which table best represents the steps to solve the equation x over 2 + 1 = −5? Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = −5 + 1 The same number +1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = −4 Adding 1 and −5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = −4 ⋅ 2 The same number 2 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = −8 Multiplying −4 and 2 on the right hand side Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = −1 − 5 The same number − 1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = −6 Adding −1 and −5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = −6 − 2 The same number 2 can be subtracted on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = −8 Adding −6 and −2 Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = −1 − 5 The same number −1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = −6 Adding −1 and −5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = −6 ⋅ 2 The same number 2 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = −12 Multiplying −6 and 2 on the right hand side Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = −1 − 5 The same number −1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = −6 Adding −1 and −5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = −6 ÷ 2 The same number 2 can be divided on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = −3 Dividing −6 by 2 on the right hand side

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

(x/2) + 1 = -5.......add -1 to both sides
x/2 = -5 - 1
x/2 = -6 .....multiply both sides by 2
x = -6 * 2
x = -12
