Answer to Problem 44HP
Liam is solving the equation correctly
Explanation of Solution
Given information:Liam and Marcus are solving the equation
Calculation:
Given equation as follows:
Liam solves the above equation as follows:
Marcus solves the equation as follows:
In order to solve the equation, one needs to perform inverse of the operation in part of given equation that contains variable and follow the same for both side of equation.
In equation
Thus, in order to solve, one must perform addition.
Thus, correct way of solving the equation is
Hence, Liam is solving the equation correctly.
