Sure! Let's go through your questions one by one.
### Question 1
**Which is NOT a step in solving for x in the equation: x/16 + 21 = 207?**
- **Response:** **cancel the 16s**
**Reasoning:** The correct method involves isolating x through addition and multiplication rather than "canceling" the 16s outright.
---
### Question 2
**For the equation: x/5 + 7 = 37.**
**Correct Order of Steps:**
1. Subtract 7 from both sides.
2. Multiply both sides by 5.
**Steps Explained:**
1. Start by subtracting 7 from both sides to isolate the term with x:
\[
x/5 + 7 - 7 = 37 - 7 \implies x/5 = 30
\]
2. Then multiply both sides by 5 to solve for x:
\[
x = 30 \times 5 \implies x = 150
\]
---
### Question 3
**For the equation: 9x - 12 = 60.**
**Correct Order of Steps:**
1. Add 12 to both sides.
2. Divide both sides by 9.
**Steps Explained:**
1. First, add 12 to both sides:
\[
9x - 12 + 12 = 60 + 12 \implies 9x = 72
\]
2. Then divide both sides by 9:
\[
x = 72/9 \implies x = 8
\]
---
### Question 4
**Which is NOT a step in solving for x in the equation: 16x - 9 = 12?**
- **Response:** **divide both sides by 16**
**Reasoning:** You do not divide both sides by 16. Instead, you would add 9 to both sides and then divide by 16 if necessary.
---
### Question 5
**For the equation: 7x - 25 = 45.**
**Correct Order of Steps:**
1. Add 25 to both sides.
2. Divide both sides by 7.
**Steps Explained:**
1. Start by adding 25 to both sides:
\[
7x - 25 + 25 = 45 + 25 \implies 7x = 70
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 7:
\[
x = 70/7 \implies x = 10
\]
