Alicia is solving the equation mr023-1.jpg. Which equations represent possible ways to begin solving for x? Check all that apply.

Question
Answer:
Answer: The correct equations are (A) 2.3x - 10.4 = - 2.9x, (B) 5.2x - 1.6 = 8.8 and (E) 2.3x = 10.4 - 2.9x.Step-by-step explanation:  The given equation that Alicia is solving is[tex]2.3x-1.6=8.8-2.9x~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]We are to select the correct equations from the given options that represent possible ways to begin solving for 'x'.We have from equation (i) that[tex]2.3x-1.6=8.8-2.9x\\\\\Rightarrow 2.3x-1.6-8.8=-2.9x\\\\\Rightarrow 2.3x-10.4=-2.9x.[/tex]So, option (A) is correct.Also, from equation (i),[tex]2.3x-1.6=8.8-2.9x\\\\\Rightarrow 2.3x+2.9x-1.6=8.8\\\\\Rightarrow 5.2x-1.6=8.8.[/tex]So, option (B) is also correct.Again, equation implies[tex]2.3x-1.6=8.8-2.9x\\\\\Rightarrow 2.3x=1.6+8.8-2.9x\\\\\Rightarrow 2.3x=10.4-2.9x.[/tex]So, option (E) is correct.Thus, (A), (B) and (E) are the correct options.
