Answer:

  • 1. 2x + 23 = 30
  • 2. 3x + 19.5 = 30
  • 3. (10x - 20)/ 5 = 3

Explanation:

Work backward:

1. 2x + 23 = 30

Start:

  • x = 3.5

Multiply the equation by 2:

  • 2x = 2 (3.5)
  • 2x = 7

Subtract 30 from both sides

  • 2x - 30 = 7 - 30
  • 2x - 30 = -23

Add 23 and 30 to both sides:

  • 2x + 23 = 30

2. 3x + 19.5 = 30

Start:

  • x = 3.5

Add 6.5 to both sides:

  • x + 6.5 = 10

Multiply by 3:

  • 3(x + 6.5) = 30

Distributive property:

  • 3x + 19.5 = 30

3. (10x - 20)/ 5 = 3

Start:

  • x=3.5

Multiply by 10:

  • 10x = 35

Subtract 20:

  • 10x - 20 = 15

Divide by 5:

  • (10x - 20)/ 5 = 15/5

  • (10x - 20) / 5 = 3
