Ok. now we move onto problems where this technique is used, but only towards the end. we also need to
review how to solve problems where the variable shows up more than once. since this is review. we will jump
right into the most complex scenario.
exercise #3: consider the equation 5(x-3)+2x = 4(x+3).
(a) by using the distributive property, write (b) solve the equation for x. check to make sure
equivalent expressions for both sides of the
the original equation has a true value for the x
equation. show the work below.
you find.
