Exercise 2 Page 302

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.

Steps:

Add 6 to both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

Solution: x=10

Practice makes perfect

To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side and all of the constant terms on the other side using the Properties of Equality. The variable term is already on the left-hand side of the equation, so we will start by adding 6 to both sides of the equation.

5x-6=44

AddEqn

LHS+ 6=RHS+ 6

5x-6+ 6=44+ 6

Add terms

5x=50

Next, we will divide both sides of the equation by 5 to fully isolate x on the left-hand side.

5x=50

DivEqn

.LHS / 5.=.RHS / 5.

5x/5=50/5
