Answer 4

For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides?(1 point)
Responses

6x − 8 = 48
6 x minus 8 equals 48

6(x − 8) = 48
6 left parenthesis x minus 8 right parenthesis equals 48

6(x + 8) = 48
6 left parenthesis x plus 8 right parenthesis equals 48

8(x − 6) = 48
8 left parenthesis x minus 6 right parenthesis equals 48

Answer 5

For the equation 6x − 8 = 48, the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides is correct.

Answer 6

For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides?(1 point)
Responses

2x + 10 = 16
2 x plus 10 equals 16

2(x + 10) = 16
2 Left Parenthesis x plus 10 Right Parenthesis equals 16

2(x − 10) = 16
2 Left Parenthesis x minus 10 Right Parenthesis equals 16

10(x + 2) = 16

Answer 7

For the equation 2(x − 10) = 16, the order of steps to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides is correct.

−6

Answer 9

To solve the equation −4(z + 12) = 36 for z, we can follow the steps:
1. Distribute -4 to the terms inside the parentheses: -4z - 48 = 36
2. Add 48 to both sides of the equation: -4z = 84
3. Divide both sides by -4 to isolate z: z = -21

Therefore, the solution to the equation when solving for z is z = -21.
