Exercise 35 Page 737

Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side.

F

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. In this case, we need to start by removing the parentheses to simplify the left-hand side of the equation.

(- 4x-6)+(6x+1)=- 13

Remove parentheses

- 4x-6+6x+1=- 13

Add terms

2x-5=- 13

LHS+5=RHS+5

2x=- 8

.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.

x=- 4

The solution to the equation is x=- 4, which corresponds to answer F.
