Write a two-column proof.

Given: 7y=8x-14; y=6

Prove: x=7


I need help making a two-column proof with the statements and the reasons, please! Thank you! ( This is what I have so far)


Statements | Reasons

1. 7y=8x-14;y=6 | Given

2. 7(6)=8x-14 | Substitution

3. ????|????

4. ????|????

5. x=7| ????


(I just stopped at 5 for right, that's not the exact steps I think the two-column proof actually has)

Thank you again for whoever helps me! Be Blessed

Given - 7y=8x-14 : y=6

Substitution Property - 7(6)=8x-14
Distributive Property - 8x-14=42
Addition Property - 8x=56
Division Property - x=7

Id rather be sleeping rn but instead i have 58 overdue assignments to do kill me

dude i hate geometry algebra is way easier to cheat

I find it funny this a 10th grade math question, and this was 5 years ago, the person who asked it dude/girl prob 20 by now lool

To me a two column proof is usually associated with Euclidean Geometry.

To use it here in this rather simplistic problem is like using a sledge hammer to drive in a finishing nail ...

here is what I would do
7y=8x-14; y=6

then:
42 = 8x - 14
56 = 8x
x = 56/8 = 7

There! I have proven it.

All that other stuff is just "word salad" to me.

Same welp same and I only have 7 days to complete them UGHHH

@yurr FR I hate it so much

Off topic but does that does connections academy want to be friends? I have no one to talk to or play video games with.

@Smh how tf u got 17 assignments to do???

literally it’s 6:38am on wednesday and i have until the end of friday to get 19 assignments done and i only have one extension left

It has to do with so-called addition property of equality and division property of equality.

Basically, if two things are equal,

adding or dividing both things by the same amount does not affect their equality.

Die

8x=56 is Subtraction Property of Equality
