Answer:
x = 11
distributive law
additive law
multiplication property
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question an equation
4(x-7) = 2x-6
Distributive law
a(b+c) = ab +ac
4x - 4(7) = 2x - 6
4x -28 = 2x - 6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce the 2x on the right.
4x - 2x - 28 = 2x - 2x -6
4x -2x -28 = -6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce -28 to zero on the left.
4x - 2x- 28 + 28 = -6 + 28
2x = 22
Use the multiplication property of equality to reduce 2x to just x
2x2 = 22/22
x = 22/2
x = 11
Add the polynomials together:
(5x-2)+(2x-3)+(4x+3)
Combine like terms:
(5x+2x+4x) + (-2+-3+3) = 11x-2
So the answer is D.
