Question

List the correct order of steps to solve the following equation.
6x - 5 = 7

Answer 1

STEP ONE: add five to both sides to isolate the variable. 6x-5=7 ——— 6x=12
STEP TWO: in order to have x be standing alone without a coefficient, you must divide both sides by 6.
6x/6=12/6
Now you have your answer : x=2

Answer 2

The correct order of steps to solve the equation 6x - 5 = 7 is:

1. Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

2. Divide both sides by 6.

Explanation:

6x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

6x - 5 + 5 = 7 + 5

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6.

`(6x )/(6)=( 12 )/(6)`

x = 2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 6x - 5 = 7 is x = 2.
