Question

HELP PLEASE!!!!

Drag a reason to each box to complete this proof.

If 1/2(8x+14)=39 , then x = 8.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) Write 8x+14 as 2(4x+7) and now multiply by 1/2 so that we get 4x+7

2)Subtract 7 from both sides

4x+7=39

-7 -7

4x=32

3) Divide by 8

x=8

Thus we get x=8 as answer

So reasons are

i) Distributive property

ii) Subtraction property of equality

iii) Division property of equality
