Question

Reason What is a first step to solving for x

Answer 1

$\large \mathfrak{Solution : }$

let's solve for x :

first step : adding 7 on both sides

• $9x - 7 = 10$

• $9x - 7 + 7 = 10 + 7$

• $9x = 17$

next step : dividing by 9 on both sides :

• $\dfrac{9x}{9} = \dfrac{17}{9}$

• $x = \dfrac{17}{9}$

now, let's check for the solution by Plugging the value of x as 17 / 9 in the above equation.

• $9x - 7 = 10$

• $(9 \times \dfrac{17}{9} ) - 7 = 10$

• $17 - 7 = 10$

• $10 = 10$

we can see that the LHS = RHS, therefore our value for x is correct. i.e 17 / 9

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: Do -7 + 7 and do the same to 10, (7 + 10). This is the first step in Isolating the variable.
