To solve the equation, lorie applies the distributive property, combines like terms, then applies the addition and subtraction properties of equality to isolate the variable term on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. what are the possible coefficients of x after lorie has completed these steps?

To understand the distributive property of multiplication, I will give you examples. Simplify each expression. We have

x + 4x + 6x = 11x (you can add them because they have the same variable of x. It follows the addition property)

9(5x) = 45x (you can multiply them even if 9 has no variable, it follows the distributive property of multiplication)
7(3x + 5y) = 21x + 35y (the same explanation as in the previous problem)
5(6x - 3y) = 30x – 15 y (the same explanation as in the previous problem)

For the second part, factor the expression. We have,
24x + 18y

that did not help at all

Step-by-step explanation:

john earns $14.00 for two hours of work.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
