Question

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 6 = 22 and arrives at the correct solution?

A)Divide both sides by −6 and then add 2. The solution is x = 8.

B)Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 7.

C)Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 14.

D)Add 6 to both sides of the equation and then divide by 22. The solution is x = −14.

Answer 1

what do you think?

Answer 2

since 6 is being subtracted, you would do the opposite to get it on the other side
what's the opposite of subtraction?

Answer 3

addition

Answer 4

so you would add 6

Answer 5

so A and B are out

Answer 6

next you have 2x which means 2 times x
the opposite of multiplication is?

Answer 7

division

Answer 8

so you would first add 6 and then divide by 2

Answer 9

so let's solve it
\(2x-6=22\\6+22=28\\28/2=14\)

Answer 10

oh get it its C

Answer 11

yup \(\checkmark\)
