An equation is shown below: 2(3x – 5) = 1 Which of the following correctly shows the steps to solve this equation? (1 point) Step 1: 6x – 10 = 1; Step 2: 6x = 11 Step 1: 6x – 5 = 1; Step 2: 6x = 6 Step 1: 5x – 3 = 1; Step 2: 5x = 4 Step 1: 5x – 7 = 1; Step 2: 5x = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the first step is to foil 2(3x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would that produce?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 2 times 3x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x+2*-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 6x is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's 2 times -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right, so we have 6x-10=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then in step 2 you will add 10 into 1 then what is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second step is to add 10 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right, good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):
