Question

Sasha solved an equation, as shown below:

Step 1: 7x = 56
Step 2: x = 56 + 7
Step 3: x = 63

Part A: Is Sasha’s solution correct or incorrect? If the solution is incorrect, explain why it is incorrect.


Part b: If the solution is incorrect show the correct steps to solve the equation and find the correct solution to the equation.

Answer 1

Answer: Sasha is incorrect because all she needs to do is divide 56 by 7 x and x= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Sasha is incorrect.

Here's Why:

Sasha was suppose to divide 7 to both sides not add 7 to both sides. So, the correct way to do it, is like this:

Step 1: 7x = 56

Step 2: 7x = 56

            7        7

Step 3: x = 8

Hope this helps you!!! :)
