Which table best represents the steps to solve the equation x over 2 + 1 = βˆ’5? Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = βˆ’5 + 1 The same number +1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = βˆ’4 Adding 1 and βˆ’5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = βˆ’4 β‹… 2 The same number 2 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = βˆ’8 Multiplying βˆ’4 and 2 on the right hand side Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = βˆ’1 βˆ’ 5 The same number βˆ’ 1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = βˆ’6 Adding βˆ’1 and βˆ’5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = βˆ’6 βˆ’ 2 The same number 2 can be subtracted on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = βˆ’8 Adding βˆ’6 and βˆ’2 Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = βˆ’1 βˆ’ 5 The same number βˆ’1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = βˆ’6 Adding βˆ’1 and βˆ’5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = βˆ’6 β‹… 2 The same number 2 can be multiplied on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = βˆ’12 Multiplying βˆ’6 and 2 on the right hand side Step Justification Step 1: x over 2 = βˆ’1 βˆ’ 5 The same number βˆ’1 can be added to both sides of the equation Step 2: x over 2 = βˆ’6 Adding βˆ’1 and βˆ’5 on the right hand side Step 3: x = βˆ’6 Γ· 2 The same number 2 can be divided on both sides of the equation Step 4: x = βˆ’3 Dividing βˆ’6 by 2 on the right hand side

Respuesta :

(x/2) + 1 = -5.......add -1 to both sides
x/2 = -5 - 1
x/2 = -6 .....multiply both sides by 2
x = -6 * 2
x = -12
