for which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides?

Question

A) 2( x + 10) = 16
B) 2( x - 10) = 16
C) 2x+10 = 16
D) 10 (x + 2) = 16

Answer 1

The correct equation is C) 2x + 10 = 16.

To solve this equation, you would first subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the variable: 2x + 10 - 10 = 16 - 10, which simplifies to 2x = 6.

Next, you would divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: 2x/2 = 6/2, which gives you x = 3.

Therefore, the correct order of steps would be to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides.
