Identify the properties used in step 1 and step 2 to solve the equation shown. then discuss why those properties were used. problem: steps: 2x + 6 = 22 given problem 2x = 16 (1) identify and discuss the property that was used. x = 8 (2) identify and discuss the property that was used.

Step                Property

2x+6 = 22       given

2x = 16            addition property of equality (-6 added to both sides)

x = 8                multiplication property of equality (both sides × 1/2)

In general equations are solved by reversing the steps done to the variable. Here, the variable (x) is multiplied by 2 and 6 is added to that product. So, to find x, we undo the addition of 6 (by adding -6, the additive inverse), and undo the multiplication by 2 (by multiplying by 1/2, the multiplicative inverse).

If other functions were performed on the variable in the original equation, their inverse functions would be used, too, as part of the solution process.

sas (side angle side)

aa (angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas find two sides with an angle in between

aa is finding two angles and the third will add up to 180

sss find all sides
