Question

Which table best represents the steps to solve the equation - x over 6 - 3 = -9?



Step Justification
Step 1: - x over 6 = -9 - 3 The same number -3 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: - x over 6 = -12 Adding -9 and -3 on the right hand side
Step 3: x = -12 • -6 The same number -6 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation
Step 4: x = 72 Multiplying -12 and -6 on the right hand side


Step Justification
Step 1: - x over 6 = -9 + 3 The same number +3 can be added to both sides of the equation
Step 2: - x over 6 = -6 Adding -9 and 3 on the right hand side
