Answer:
Solve for x and justify each step with a reason: 3(x - 2) + 5x = 9x - 24
Steps:
Justification (Reasons):
3(x - 2) + 5x = 9x - 24
Given
3x - 6 + 5x = 9x - 24
Distributive Property
3x + 5x - 6 = 9x - 24
Commutative Property of Addition
8x - 6 = 9x - 24
Combine Like Terms
8x - 8x - 6 = 9x - 8x - 24
Subtraction Property of Equality
0 - 6 = x - 24
Additive Inverse Property (left)
Combine Like Terms (right)
-6 = x - 24
Additive Identity Property
-6 + 24 = x - 24 + 24
Addition Property of Equality
18 = x + 0
Addition (left)
Additive Inverse Property (right)
18 = x
Additive Identity Property
