Solve each equation below. Show your work! a) 2 = 169 b) 3 = −125

a)

• divide all sides by 2 following division property of equality:

b)

• divide all sides by 3 following division rule of equality:

2x=169

We divide by 2 to isolate x:                 ✩               ∙         ●                                                         ✰

x=84.5                   ●                                                                ⚙︎

3x=-125  

We have to divide by 3 to isolate x:                ▫︎                     ✩

x=-41.666667 (It is irrational; I have rounded up)           ✩          ◦
