What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process?

D) the subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2r +1/2= -2/7r  -29/7 Subtracting 1/2 from both sides

1/2r +1/2 - 1/2= -2/7r  -29/7- 1/2

1/2r = -2/7r  - 29(2)-7/14

1/2r = -2/7r  -65/14

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
