Solving Linear Equations: Variable on One Side — Quiz

Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

What are the possible steps involved in solving the equation shown? Choose three correct answers. 3 point 5 plus 1 point 2 times open paren 6 point 3 minus 7x close paren is equal to 9 point 38

Answer
A
Subtract 11 point 06 from both sides.
B
Add 3 point 5 and 1 point 2 .
C
Combine 6 point 3 and negative 7 x .
D
Combine 3 point 5 and 7 point 56 .
E
Distribute 1 point 2 to 6 point 3 and negative 7 x .

Explanation

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.
