Maya solved an equation incorrectly, as shown below: Step 1: 4x = 28 Step 2: x = 28 − 4 Step 3: x = 24 Which statement best explains why Step 2 is incorrect in Maya's solution?

Only Use addition or subtraction if the unknown variable is alone and not combined with a Number .

EXPLANATION :

Given step 1 to be =

4x = 28

Following the third law,

The correct solution would have been

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

"A General Rule for Solving Equations

She needs to divide both sides of the equation by 4, and then end up with x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it right on flvs test, plus...

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
