I have been given to solve:
4(2x-1)=3(3x+2)
Here is my work so far:
step 1: 8x-4=9x+6
step 2: -x=10
step 3: ?
4(2x-1)=3(3x+2)
Here is my work so far:
step 1: 8x-4=9x+6
step 2: -x=10
step 3: ?
The first step is to distribute the numbers outside the parentheses to the terms inside. This will result in 8x - 4 = 9x + 6.
Following the steps in order ensures that each step is completed correctly and that the solution is accurate. It also helps to avoid mistakes and confusion.
The purpose of Step 1 is to simplify the equation by distributing the numbers outside the parentheses. This allows us to eliminate parentheses and combine like terms, making the equation easier to solve.
No, it is not recommended to skip steps when solving an equation. Each step builds upon the previous one and skipping a step can lead to mistakes or an incorrect solution.
If you get a different answer, it is important to go back and check your work. Make sure you followed each step correctly and that there are no mistakes. If you are still getting a different answer, you may need to try a different approach or seek help from a teacher or tutor.
