a To solve the equation we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side using the Properties of Equality.
In this case,
we need to start by using the Distributive Property to simplify the left- and right-hand sides of the equation.
b To solve an equation we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side using the Properties of Equality.
In this case we need to start by removing the parentheses to simplify the left-hand side of the equation.
