Question

When solving an equation, Kyle's work showed

4x+3=11 followed by 4x=8. What property
justifies the step in kyle's work? What is the
next step in solving the equation and what
property is used?

Answer 1

subtract 3 from both sides... what you do on one side you must do on the other. 3 -3 cancels each other out and 11-3=8 giving you 4x=8
