Question

Heidi solved the equation
3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4). Her steps are below:

3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x – 20
3x + 14 = 5x – 18
14 = 2x – 18
32 = 2x
16 = x
Use the drops-downs to justify how Heidi arrived at each step.

Answer 1

Answer:

her first step was) Combining like terms= 12+2

her second step was) Combining like terms/ subtracting 5x from 3x= 5x-3x

her third step was) Adding to both sides 18= 14+18

her last step was) isolating the variable/ dividing 2 from both sides= 32/x.
