For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides?(1 point)
10(x+2)=16
2x+10=16
2(x+10)=16
2(x-10)=16
The equation for which the order of steps is first to divide both sides by 2 and then to subtract 10 from both sides is:
2(x+10)=16
The equation for which the order of steps is to first divide both sides by 2 and then subtract 10 from both sides is:
2(x+10)=16
The equation for which the order of steps is to first divide both sides by 2 and then subtract 10 from both sides is:
2(x+10)=16
To determine this, let's go step by step:
- 10(x+2)=16
To start solving this equation, we need to distribute the 10 to both terms inside the parentheses:
10*x + 10*2 = 16
10x + 20 = 16
Now, we need to isolate the variable, x. The order of steps as mentioned is to first divide both sides by 2. So, let's divide the entire equation by 2:
(10x + 20) / 2 = 16 / 2
5x + 10 = 8
The next step according to the given order is to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation, so let's do that:
(5x + 10) - 10 = 8 - 10
5x = -2
Therefore, the equation after dividing both sides by 2 and subtracting 10 from both sides is 5x = -2.
So out of the given options, the equation 2(x+10)=16 follows the desired order of steps.
