What are the possible steps involved in solving the equation shown? Check all that apply:

3.5 + 1.2(6.3 - 7x) = 9.38

-Add 3.5 and 1.2.
-Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x .
-Combine 6.3 and -7x .
-Combine 3.5 and 7.56.
-Subtract 11.06 from both sides.
-Divide both sides by 9.38.

Answer 1

Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7.x but im thinking that you can first add 3.5 and 1.2 but im again thinking that would be against pendas

Answer 2

I think Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and –7x is the right option, furthermore there is another rigfht option

Answer 3

oops...there is another right option

Answer 4

hint:
\[\begin{gathered}
3.5{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}1.2\left( {6.3{\text{ }}--{\text{ }}7x} \right){\text{ }} = {\text{ }}9.38 \hfill \\
3.5{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}7.56 - 8.4x{\text{ }} = {\text{ }}9.38 \hfill \\
11.06 - 8.4x = 9.38 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
