Answer:
The missing term is 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - _
Required
Find _
For proper identification of the parameters, represent _ with Z
So, the equation becomes
-(x - 1) + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
Open bracket (start from the left hand side)
-x + 1 + 5 = 2(x + 3) - Z
-x + 1 + 5 = 2x + 6 - Z
Solve like terms
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 - Z
Subtract 6 from both sides
-x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 6 - 6 - Z
-x = 2x - Z
Subtract 2x from both sides
-x - 2x = 2x - 2x - Z
-3x = -Z
Multiply both sides by -1
-3x * -1 = -Z * -1
3x = Z
Reorder
Z = 3x
Hence, the missing term is 3x
A, C, And D
Could be these answers...
Angles 6 and 8 add up to equal 180, so 2x - 5 + x + 5 = 180. 3x = 180 so x = 60. Angle 3 is alternate interior to angle 6 which is 2(60) - 5 = 115, so angle 3 is also 115
The answer is: [D]: "Subtract 5 from 10" .

Explanation:
____________________________________
Use the correct order of operations, according to the mnemonic:
"PE MD AS".
The "P" stands for "parentheses", which takes top (first priority); and there are values in parentheses in this expression—specifically, the "(10 - 5)" . So the first step is to "subtract 5 from 10" —which is: "Answer choice: [D]".
Your error was starting at the beginning of the problem; and not using the "order of operations".
