Question

An equation is shown below:

6(3x − 7) = 2

Which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation?


Step 1: 9x − 1 = 2
Step 2: 9x = 3

Step 1: 9x − 7 = 2
Step 2: 9x = 9

Step 1: 18x − 7 = 2
Step 2: 18x = 9

Step 1: 18x − 42 = 2
Step 2: 18x = 44

Answer 1

$\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }$

• $\texttt{Step 1: 18x − 42 = 2}$

• $\texttt{Step 2: 18x = 44 }$

$\large \tt Solution \: :$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 6(3x - 7) = 2$

Step 1 -

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 18x - 42 = 2$

[ distributive property ]

Step 2 -

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 18x = 2 + 42$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 18x = 44$
