Look at the equation shown. What is a step that can be used to transform the equation into the form x=a, where A is a number, to show that the equation has one solution? Select TWO options that apply. A. combine like terms 15x and 16x to get 31x and then subtract from both sides of the equation B. subtract 15x from both sides of the equation and then simplify C. subtract 24 from both sides of the equation and then simplify D. add 3x to both sides of the equation and then simplify E. add to both sides of the equation and then simplify
To transform the equation into the form x=a, where a is a number, and show that it has one solution, we can apply the following steps:
B. Subtract 15x from both sides of the equation and then simplify: This will isolate the term with x on one side of the equation.
E. Add 24 to both sides of the equation and then simplify: This will eliminate the constant term on one side of the equation.
By performing these two steps, we can transform the equation into the form x=a with one solution.
The correct steps that can be used to transform the equation into the form x=a, where A is a number, to show that the equation has one solution are:
B. subtract 15x from both sides of the equation and then simplify
C. subtract 24 from both sides of the equation and then simplify
To transform the equation into the form x=a, where "a" is a number, and show that the equation has one solution, two possible steps can be taken.
Option B: Subtract 15x from both sides of the equation and then simplify. This step helps in isolating the variable "x" on one side of the equation.
Option C: Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation and then simplify. This step involves simplifying the constants present in the equation.
So, the correct options are B and C.
