1. Statements | Reasons
---|---
3x + 12 = 8x - 18 | Given
-5x + 12 = -18 | Subtract 8x from both sides (Subtraction Property of Equality)
-5x = -30 | Subtract 12 from both sides (Subtraction Property of Equality)
x = 6 | Divide both sides by -5 (Division Property of Equality)
2. Statements | Reasons
---|---
3k + 5 = 17 | Given
3k = 12 | Subtract 5 from both sides (Subtraction Property of Equality)
k = 4 | Divide both sides by 3 (Division Property of Equality)
3. Statements | Reasons
---|---
-6a - 5 = -95 | Given
-6a = -90 | Add 5 to both sides (Addition Property of Equality)
a = 15 | Divide both sides by -6 (Division Property of Equality)
