Solve the following equation. You must show all your work and list the correct properties for each step to receive full credit.
(here are the possible properties to pick from: addition property of equality, subtraction property of equality, multiplication property of equality, division property of equality)
4x - 17 = 47
Add 17 to both sides:
4x - 17 + 17 = 47 + 17
4x = 64
Divide by 4 on both sides:
(4x)/4 = 64/4
x = 16
Final answer: x = 16
Properties used:
1. Addition property of equality
2. Division property of equality
