An equation is shown below:
3(4x − 2) = 1
which of the following correctly shows the first two steps to solve this equation?
step 1: 12x − 2 = 1; step 2: 12x = 3
step 1: 12x − 6 = 1; step 2: 12x = 7
step 1: 7x + 1 = 1; step 2: 7x = 0
step 1: 7x − 5 = 1; step 2: 7x = 6

The correct option is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

Step 1: use distributive property.

Step 2: Add 6 on both the sides.

Therefore the correct option is 2.

parallel and congruent

step-by-step explanation:

the movement of translation is linear.   these have the same translation because you are using the same rule for each point of the triangle so you will see the same slope being used to get from a point on the triangle to its image.

same slope!   you should think parallel when you see those 2 word together (well unless it's the same line but it can't be because we are coming from different points here)

congruent! because each point is being moved the same distance.
