Question

An equation is shown below:

8(2x − 14) + 13 = 4x − 27

Part A: Write the steps you will use to solve the equation, and explain each step. (6 points)

Part B: What value of x makes the equation true? (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute:  16x - 112 + 13 = 4x - 27

2. combine like terms: 16x - 99 = 4x - 27

3. subtract 4x from each side: 12x - 99 = -27

4. add 99 to each side: 12x = 72

5. divide 12 from each side: x = 6

part B: x = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2×_14)+13=4×_27

(16×_112)+13=4×_27

16×_4×=112_13_27

12×=72

×=72/12

×=6
