Respuesta :
The number 2 should be added to both sides of the given linear
equation to enable the variable x be made the subject of the equation.
Response:
- The first operation that needed to solve the equation is; Addition
Which sequence of steps are needed to solve the given equation?
The given equation is presented as follows;
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{x}{11} - 2} = 3[/tex]
The solution of the above equation van be found by making x the
subject of the equation.
Removing the 2 from the left hand side of the equation will isolate the [tex]\dfrac{x}{11}[/tex]
, from which the value of x can be found by multiplying by 11.
First operation;
To remove the 2, we have;
- 2 - 2 = -2 + 2 = 0, adding 2 to both sides of the equation gives;
[tex]\dfrac{x}{11} - 2 \mathbf{+ 2 }= 3 + 2[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{11} + 0 = 3 + 2 = 5[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{11} = 5[/tex]
Second operation;
[tex]\dfrac{x}{11} \times 11 = 5 \times 11 = 55[/tex]
x = 55
The first operation that needs to be needed to solve the given equation
is therefore;
- Addition
