Olve to find the value for x in the linear equation: 3(−4x + 5) = 12. 1. Use the distributive property:

2. Use the subtraction property of equality:

3. Division property of equality:

3(−4x) + 3(5) = 12

−12x + 15 = 12

−12x + 15 − 15 = 12 − 15

−12x = −3

x =

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
