Question 5 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

The solution is n = –2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2. What is the last line of the justification?

Answer
A
0.8 = 0.8
B
–0.8 = –0.8
C
3 = 3
D
–3 = –3

Explanation

Substitute n = −2 into both sides of the equation. The left side is 1.4(−2) + 2 = −2.8 + 2 = −0.8, and the right side is 2(−2) + 3.2 = −4 + 3.2 = −0.8. The last line is −0.8 = −0.8, choice B.
