Multiplication Property of Equality is the missing reason
Solution:
Given that,
five thirds times x plus 2 equals negative 3
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{5}{3}x + 2 = -3[/tex]
Multiplication Property of Equality
The Multiplication Property of Equality means that, if both sides of an equation is multiplied by same number, the equation still remains equal
[tex]\frac{5}{3}x + 2 = -3[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3
[tex]3(\frac{5}{3}x + 2) = -3 \times 3\\\\5x + 6 = -9[/tex]
Subtraction Property of Equality
The Subtraction Property of Equality means that, we can subtract the same number from both sides of equation and the equation will still be true
5x + 6 = -9
Subtract 6 from both sides
5x + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6
5x = -15
Division Property of Equality
The Division Property of Equality means that, if both sides of an equation is divided by same number, the equation still remains true
5x = -15
Divide both sides by 5
x = -3
