For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides?

Question

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

Answer 1

The correct equation where the order of steps is first to divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides is:

D. 2(x - 10) = 16
