An equation is shown below:
6(3x − 7) = 2
which of the following correctly shows the beginning steps to solve this equation?
step 1: 9x − 1 = 2
step 2: 9x = 3
step 1: 9x − 7 = 2
step 2: 9x = 9
step 1: 18x − 7 = 2
step 2: 18x = 9
step 1: 18x − 42 = 2
step 2: 18x = 44

(D)  Step 1:

     Step 2:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

Now, Step 1. Simplifying the above equation, we get

Step 2. Further simplifying the equation by adding 42 on both sides, we get

=

Thus, from all the option, Option D is correct as it is equivalent to the above steps.

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
