Answer:
[tex]3(x-2)+5x=26[/tex] (Given Equation)
[tex]3x-6+5x=26[/tex] (Distributive Property)
[tex]8x-6=26[/tex] (Combine Like Terms)
[tex]8x=32[/tex] (Addition Property of Equality)
[tex]x=4[/tex] (Division Property of Equality)
Step-by-step explanation:
To justify the solution paths of linear equations.
[tex]3(x-2)+5x=26[/tex] (It is the Given Equation)
Here, 3 has to be multiplied with the term [tex](x-2)[/tex], so the distributive property applies.
Therefore, [tex]3x-6+5x=26[/tex]
Here, the like terms with [tex]x[/tex] in it will have to solved by combining them into one.
Therefore, [tex]8x-6=26[/tex]
Here, we add 6 to both sides.
[tex]8x=32[/tex]
Now, divide the both sides with 8.
[tex]x=4[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]3(x-2)+5x=26[/tex] (Given Equation)
[tex]3x-6+5x=26[/tex] (Distributive Property)
[tex]8x-6=26[/tex] (Combine Like Terms)
[tex]8x=32[/tex] (Addition Property of Equality)
[tex]x=4[/tex] (Division Property of Equality)
