Which property justifies step 3 Given: 4(x - 6) + 12 = 20

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−6)+12=20

(4)(x)+(4)(−6)+12=20(Distribute)

4x+−24+12=20

(4x)+(−24+12)=20(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−12=20

4x−12=20

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

4x−12+12=20+12

4x=32

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x

4

=

32

4

Step 3-Divide by same term

Step-by-step explanation:

If you include distributing in your steps, then Step 3 would be adding 12 to both sides.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

answer: b
