1 answer
To solve the equation \( \frac{5}{8}(x + \frac{1}{2}) = 100 \), the steps can be ordered as follows:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{8}{5} \) (to eliminate the fraction).
Step 2: Subtract \( \frac{1}{2} \) from both sides of the equation (to isolate \( x \)).
So the correct order is:
Step 1: multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{8}{5} \)
Step 2: subtract \( \frac{1}{2} \) from both sides of the equation
