Answer quick and i will mark     quinda begins to solve the equation -4.5x+3=2-8.5x by adding 8.5x to each side of the equation. which next step would result in the variable terms and constant terms being on different sides of the equals sign? -subtract 4x from both sides. -subtract 2 from both sides. -add 4x to both sides. -subtract 3 from both sides.

The correct option is D) Subtract 3 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation

Step 1:

Now add 8.5x to each side of the above equation.

Add the like terms.

Step 2:

Now to isolate the variable we need to subtract 3 from both the sides.

We need to find the next step that result in the variable terms and constant terms being on different sides of the equals sign.

Thus, the required step is "Subtract 3 from both sides."

Hence, the correct option is D) Subtract 3 from both sides.

We need to simplify the expression

First we remove the parentheses

Now, we group the terms together

Then

Observe that

1. the term was simplified by first squaring the expression x-2. Then a. is true.

2. The parenthesis were eliminated through multiplication of a coefficient by the term. Then c. is true.

3. Note that after multiplying and eliminating the parentheses we group the terms together and then add and subtract. Then b. is true

4. d. is false because the final simplified product is
