In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (x + 3) + 5 x = 3 (2 x minus 1), Jaleesa begins by applying the distributiv
e property, then combines like terms. Which equation is the result of these steps? 7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 6 + 5 x = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 3 + 5 x = 6 x minus 1
7 x + 3 = 6 x minus 1
The equation inside the parenthesis finds the volume of one pan and then that is multiplied by 4 which is the total number of pans. This will find the volume of all 4 pans.
