To solve the equation, Lorie applies the distributive property, combines like terms, then applies the addition and subtraction properties of equality to isolate the variable term on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. What are the possible coefficients of x after Lorie has completed these steps?

10 (one-half x + 2) minus 5 = 3 (x minus 6) + 1

Answers
A-32 and 2
B-2 and 32
C-2 and 2
D-52 and 32

C-2 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

After simplifying it a couple times, i found out that the coefficients can either be 2 or -2. Steps are long, so just sole for x and you will understand what i mean.

Hope it helps!

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,

step-by-step explanation:

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
