Match the step with the correct result of the step process for solving this
equation.
-5x-x+15= −3 (2x - 5)
(4 points)
Step 1 Distributive Property:
Step 2 - Combine Like Terms:
Step 3 - How many solutions:
Step 4 - Why is there that many
solutions?:
:: -5x+15=-6x - 5 :: One Solution
:: -5x-x+15=-6x + 15
Because you can continue to solve for 1x =
without the variable canceling
-6x+15=-6x + 15
:: Infinite solutions
:: Because the variables would cancel and you would be left with a true equality
:: -5x-x+15=-6x - 5
:: Because the variable will cancel, but you end up with an equality that is not true
:: No Solution
Step 1 Distributive Property: -5x + 15 = -6x - 5
Step 2 - Combine Like Terms: -5x + 15 = -6x - 5
Step 3 - How many solutions: Infinite solutions
Step 4 - Why is there that many solutions?: Because the variables would cancel and you would be left with a true equality
