Question

x - 5 = 2(4x-3) - 5 = 7x - 6 1/7= xx - 5 = 8x - 6-5 + 6 = 7x-6+6 1 = 7x x-x-5 = 8x - x - 6 1/7 = 7x/7Original equationCombine like terms. Solution Distributive PropertyAddition Property of EqualityCombine like terms.Subtraction Property of EqualityDivision Property of Equality What is the order to do this equation.

Answer 1

We have to solve the equation:

`\begin{gathered} x-5=2(4x-3) \\ x-5=8x-6 \\ x-x-5=8x-x-6 \\ -5+6=7x-6+6 \\ 1=7x \\ (1)/(7)=(7)/(7)x \\ (1)/(7)=x \end{gathered}`

The steps are:

1. Original equation

2. Distributive property

3. Substraction property of equality

4. Addition property of equality

5. Combine all terms

6. Division property of equality

7. Solution
