Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

7 + (-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7 - 8

(a): Write as additive inverse.

An additive inverse is of the form a + (-b)

In this case:

a = 7

b = -8

So, the expression can be represented as:

7 + (-8)

(b): Number line representation

When the expression in (a) is solved.

The result is:

7 - 8 = 7 + (-8) = -1

This means that the number line must accommodate 7 and -1.

Having said that, options (b) and (c) are out because their range is 0 to 15 and this excludes -1.

Option (d) is a wrong representation of 7 - 8

Hence, (a) is correct
