Answer:
In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.
In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)
6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property
6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property
In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.
In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.
Answer:
x = 7 and 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say:
x - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3 = 0
<em>Lets solve for x - 7 = 0 first:</em>
Add 7 to each side of "="
=> <u>x = 7</u>
<em>Now lets solve for 2x - 3 = 0</em>
First add 3 to each side of "="
=> 2x = 3
Now divide each side by 2
<u>=> x = 3/2</u>
Hope this helps!
