Question 3
A) 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

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

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

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

6x − 8 = 48
6 x minus 8 equals 48
Question 4
A)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

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

**Question 1:**
The first step in solving the equation \(7(x - 8) = 49\) is:
- **Divide both sides by 7.**

**Question 2:**
The second step in solving the equation \(-3(y + 6) = 21\) is:
- **Divide both sides by -3.**

**Question 3:**
The equation for which the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides is:
- **6(x - 8) = 48.**

**Question 4:**
The equation for which the order of steps to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides is:
- **2(x + 10) = 16.**

**Question 5:**
The solution of the equation \(-4(z + 12) = 36\) when solving for \(z\) is:
1. First, divide both sides by -4:
\(z + 12 = -9\).
2. Next, subtract 12 from both sides:
\(z = -21\).

So the answer is:
- **−21.**
