Question

Which properties can be used to solve 7y − 15 = −29? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

addition property of equality

inverse property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

7y − 15 = −29

Add 15 to each side using the addition property of equality

7y -15+15 = -29+15

7y = -14

Divide each side by 7 using the inverse property of multiplication

7y/7 = -14/7

y =2

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\mathrm{Addition \ Property \ of \ Equality}} \\\\\\ \Large \boxed{\mathrm{Inverse \ Property \ of \ Multiplication}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 7y-15=-29$

Using the additive property of equality, we add 15 to both sides of the equation.

$\sf 7y-15+15=-29+15$

$\sf 7y=-14$

Using the inverse property of multiplication, we divide both sides of the equation by 7.

$\displaystyle \sf \frac{7y}{7} =\frac{-14}{7}$

$\sf y = -2$
