Answer:
Statement Reason
1. [tex]4x+5x-2=6[/tex] 1. Distributive Property
2. [tex]9x-2=6[/tex] 2. Combine like terms
3. [tex]9x=8[/tex] 3. Addition Property of Equality
4. [tex]x=\dfrac{8}{9}[/tex] 4. Division Property of Equality
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]4x+\dfrac{1}{2}(10x-4)=6[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]4x+\dfrac{1}{2}(10x)+\dfrac{1}{2}(-4)=6[/tex]
[tex]4x+5x-2=6[/tex]
[tex]9x-2=6[/tex] (Combine like terms)
Using Addition Property of Equality, add 2 on both sides.
[tex]9x=6+2[/tex]
[tex]9x=8[/tex]
Using Division Property of Equality, divide both sides by 9.
[tex]x=\dfrac{8}{9}[/tex]
