Question 2
Mai says x is a number that makes Equation A true and also a number that makes Equation B true.
Equation A: -3 (x + 7) = 24
• Equation B: x + 7 = -8
Which statement explains why this is true?
A) Adding 3 to both sides of
A gives x + 7 = -8.
B) Applying the distributive property to Equation by A gives x + 7 = -8.
OC) Subtracting 3 from both sides of Equation A gives x + 7 = -8.
OD) Dividing both sides of Equation A by-3 gives x + 7 = -8.
