Question

Can someone help me with Question 1, a-b of this assignment? I'd deeply appreciate it! :) I am trying to figure these questions out, and I need help.

Answer 1

Explanation:

so we start with Sara's

-3x+14=18-5x

for properties of equality, we need to isolate the x variable

-3x=4-5x

2x=4

x=2

that is correct

now we go to Ethan's

2x=5-1/2x

2 1/2x=5

x=2

now we have confirmed that x is equal to 2

hope this helped
