Answer 1

I disagree with your use of "Associative Property."

We've discussed this problem before. I've asked you to explain in your own words how you would go about solving the equation for x, but so far you have not answered.

Answer 2

oh the third one is division property of equality because 24/4 = 6

Answer 3

is this right @mathmale

Answer 4

First, answer this: Where doex the -4x term come from?

Answer 5

thats the only thing im confused about :/

Answer 6

@mathmale

Answer 7

I asked you to add 4x to both sides of the equation and then simplify your results. Would you please do that.

Answer 8

-6x = -2x
+4x = +4x
-------------
-2x = 2x

Answer 9

@mathmale

Answer 10

The -4x term comes from getting like terms to one side....

We have...

\(\huge{-6x=-2x-24}\) Now we need x on one side so we would add 2x to both sides to cancel out -2x....what we do to one side we do to the other....

\(\huge{-6x+2x=(-2x+2x)-24}\)

This would simplify to...

\(\huge{-4x=-24}\)

Do u understand now?

Answer 11

@563blackghost what terms do i put?

Answer 12

are mine correct?

Answer 13

I wouldn't agree with the Associative part for the last one....

Associative Property: \(\large{a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c}\)

As you can see you can not add to get the variable to itself.....

Answer 14

What is the only way to get \(\Large{-4x}\) to just \(\Large{x}\) ?

Answer 15

divison

Answer 16

Correct :)

So we would divide by `-4` from each side...

\(\huge{\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-24}{-4}}\)

Answer 17

so all my terms are correct?

Answer 18

And also in the steps I showed above for getting `-4x=-24` that would not be division....what we did to get that is that we used addition...but the question is which one?...

Associative Property: `a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c`

Answer 19

wait im confused?

Answer 20

Remember how I showed how we got from `-6x=-2x-24` to `-4x=-24`?

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

Well I did not do division I used addition in which you put as Division Property of Equality but that is not correct....

We need to find what kind of property I used....

Associative Property: a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c

Addition Property of Equality:

Which would it be?

Answer 23

Addition Property of Equality

Answer 24

Correct :)

Answer 25

so whats the last 1?
