Question

What is the reason for Step 2 in the solution of the equation? 18−2x = 4x
Step 1: Given 18 = 6x
Step 2: _____ 3 = x
Step 3: Division Property of Equality Question 1
(a)Combine Like Terms
(b)Distributive Property
(c)Division Property
(d)Addition Property of Equality

Answer 1

Answer:

i think b ( Distributive property) is correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Addition Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given :$8−2x = 4x$  

Step 2:  $18 = 6x$

Step 3: Division Property of Equality $3=x$

$8−2x = 4x$  

Add 2x on both sides

$8−2x+2x = 4x+2x$  

$8=6x$  

To get step 2, add 2x on both sides

Its addition property of equality
