In Exercises 1–8, state the property (or properties) of equations that can he used to solve each of the following equations; then use the property (or properties) to solve the equation.
1. 3x = 6
To state: The property used to solve the equation
Answer to Problem 1TE
The division property is used to solve the equation
Explanation of Solution
Property used:
Division Property:
“Dividing both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number gives an equivalent equation”.
Calculation:
The equation
Therefore, the division property is being used to solve the equation
Divide both sides of equation
Therefore, the value of x is 2.
