Which would not be a step in solving 5x+15+2x=24+4x

Collect like terms
Use the distributive property
Collect variable terms on one side
Isolate the variable

1 answer

The step that would not be used in solving the equation \(5x + 15 + 2x = 24 + 4x\) is:

Use the distributive property.

In this equation, there are no parentheses to distribute, so applying the distributive property is unnecessary. The other steps—collecting like terms, collecting variable terms on one side, and isolating the variable—are all relevant steps in solving the equation.
