To match each equation with the appropriate strategy, we need to analyze the nature of each equation and the necessary steps to solve it.
-
Equation: 4z + 9z + 10 = 73z - 16
This equation involves combining like terms on the left side. Therefore, the appropriate strategy is: a. Collect like terms on the same side of the equation.
-
Equation: 7 = -14
This equation is a simple statement that doesn't have any variables to isolate or terms to collect. It indicates a contradiction; thus, the strategy most relevant here is: b. Collect like terms on opposite sides of the equation.
-
Equation: 3g + 5 = -4g - 8
Here, we need to isolate the variable by moving all terms involving \( g \) to one side and the constant terms to the other side. Hence, the appropriate strategy is: c. Isolate the variable.
So, the matches are:
- a
- b
- c
