Question

Write an equation that you could solve using these steps:

Add 7 to both sides. Then, divide both sides by 4.

Explain how you know your answer is right.

Answer 1

Lets take the steps and do it backwards.

x = n (some number), lets say 2

x = 2

4x = 8

4x -7 = 1

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

Lets do the steps:

4x -7 +7 = 1+7, 4x=8

4x/4 = 8/4
x = 2

Answer 4

it asked you to add by 7, then divided by 4...so starting from the end, multiply by 4, and subtract 7
