Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
First distribute 1.2 across the parentheses: 1.2(6.3 − 7x) = 7.56 − 8.4x, so choice E is a valid step. Then combine the constants 3.5 and 7.56 to get 11.06, as in choice D. Subtracting 11.06 from both sides is then a valid step to isolate the term with x, so choice A is also correct.
