To solve the equation "Five less than three-fourths of x is seven," we can set up the equation:

\[
\frac{3}{4}x - 5 = 7
\]

To isolate \(x\), we can use the following steps:

1. **Add 5 to both sides** to eliminate the subtraction:
\[
\frac{3}{4}x - 5 + 5 = 7 + 5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{3}{4}x = 12
\]
(This step utilizes the **Addition Property of Equality**.)

2. **Multiply both sides by \(\frac{4}{3}\)** to solve for \(x\):
\[
\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)\frac{3}{4}x = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)(12)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 16
\]
(This step utilizes the **Multiplication Property of Equality**.)

The final step that includes the transition from the simplified equation \(\frac{3}{4}x = 12\) to solving for \(x\) involves multiplying both sides by a fraction. The property used at this stage is primarily associated with multiplication but, since we are looking for the last property used in the entire process, it was the **Addition Property of Equality** used first to isolate the \(x\) term after addressing the constant.

In conclusion, the last property of equality would be:

**Addition Property of Equality**.

Manipulate the equation y=7x−12 so that it is written in terms of x. Which equation is equivalent to y=7x−12?(1 point)

Responses

x=(y12)−7
x equals left parenthesis Start Fraction y over 12 End Fraction right parenthesis minus 7

x=(y+12)7
x equals Start Fraction left parenthesis y plus 12 right parenthesis over 7 End Fraction

x=(y7)+12
x equals left parenthesis Start Fraction y over 7 End Fraction right parenthesis plus 12

x=(y−12)7

To manipulate the equation \( y = 7x - 12 \) to express it in terms of \( x \), we need to isolate \( x \). Here are the steps:

1. **Add 12 to both sides** to get rid of the -12 on the right:
\[
y + 12 = 7x
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 7** to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{y + 12}{7}
\]

Now, let's compare this to the provided options:

1. \( x = \frac{y}{12} - 7 \)
2. \( x = \frac{y + 12}{7} \)
3. \( x = \frac{y}{7} + 12 \)
4. \( x = \frac{y - 12}{7} \)

The correct option that matches our derived equation is:

**x = (y + 12) / 7** (Option 2).

Which equation is equivalent to w=x+y−z?(1 point)

Responses

z=w−x−y
z equals w minus x minus y

z=x+y+w
z equals x plus y plus w

z=x+y−w
z equals x plus y minus w

z=(x+y)w

To manipulate the equation \( w = x + y - z \) so that it is expressed in terms of \( z \), we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
w = x + y - z
\]

2. Rearranging this to isolate \( z \) involves adding \( z \) to both sides and subtracting \( w \) from both sides:
\[
z = x + y - w
\]

Now, let’s compare this to the provided options:

1. \( z = w - x - y \)
2. \( z = x + y + w \)
3. \( z = x + y - w \)
4. \( z = (x + y) w \)

The equation that matches our derived equation is:

**z = x + y - w** (Option 3).
