Answer:

Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Nigel expressed as

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

First, we need to expand the bracket using the distributive property

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

4(5x)-4(12) -7x = 5x

20x - 48 - 7x = 5x

Hence Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Next is to collect the like terms;

20x - 7x - 48 = 5x

Take the difference

13x - 48 = 5x

Next is to subtract 13x from both sides according to the symmetric property

13x - 48 - 13x = 5x - 13x

Hence Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

The resulting equation will be

0-48 = -8x

Divide both sides by -8

-48/-8 = -8x/-8

6 = x

Hence the correct justifications are Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property AND Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = 8^{4} , then

8^{2x} = 8^{4}

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2
