Solve one step equation

-3x = -9

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x = -9

You have to do the inverse operation to solve a linear equation. In this case, the operation is multiplication (-3x) and the inverse would be division.

Thus, we would divide both sides by the coefficient (-3)

-3x/-3  =  -9/-3

Thus, we isolate the variable x, and the result is

x = 3

Check:

To check our answer, all we have to do is substitute the value of x.

So, we would substitute the equation as

-3(3) = 9

-3 multiplied by 3 is -9, so our answer is correct.

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
