Justify each step in solving the equation 4x=7(x-3) by writing a reason for each statement.


Statement Reason
1. 4x=7(x-3) 1. Given
2. 4x=7x-21 2.?
3. -3x=-21 3.?
4. x=7 4. ?

Fill in the blanks.

Respuesta :

Step One:  The distributive property

4x = 7x - 21

Step Two: Subtraction of equals from both sides of the equation.

4x - 7x = 7x - 7x - 21  

Step Three

Collecting like terms

-3x = - 21

Step Four

Divide by - 3: division of equals.

-3x/-3 = -21/-3

x = 7

You have a list of these terms somewhere. Everyone writes these differently. You have to translate this into what your notes tell you they are.
