2(x-3)=2x-6 This is distributive property.
2(x-3)= 2x - 2*3 = 2x-6
Answer:
Option D.
3 equations with 3 variables
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.
If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.
Therefore the correct answer is option D.
3 equations with 3 variables
8-3x=17 substract 8
-8 -8
-3x=17-8
-3x=9 divide by -3
/-3 /-3
x=9/-3
x=-3 Solved for x
