Grade: 10-a Lesson: S1-L1

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Solve the equation: 2(3x - 1) = 5(2x + 4) - 3.

2

Step

Move the x terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side, then simplify the equation

6x - 10x = 20 - 3 + 2

⇒ - 4x = 19

3

Step

To find x, divide each side by - 4

\$ x = (- 19)/4 \$

4

Choice.A

This option suggests the solution is \$18/4\$, which simplifies to 4.5. However, the solution we found was \$−19/4\$, so this option is incorrect

\$ x = 18/4 \$

5

Choice.B

This option suggests the solution is \$-18/4\$, which simplifies to -4.5. The solution we found was \$-19/4\$, so this option is incorrect

\$x = - 18/4\$

6

Choice.C

This option suggests the solution is \$19/4\$, which is 4.75. However, the solution we found was \$-19/4\$, so this option is incorrect

\$x = 19/4\$

7

Choice.D

This option suggests the solution is \$-19/4\$, which is approximately - 4.75. This matches the solution we found: \$-19/4\$

\$x = - 19/4 \$
