Jax solved an equation and justified his steps as shown below. What reason would justify step 2? 3x + 5 > 2 Step 1: Given 3x > -3 Step 2: ? x> -1 Step 3: Division Property of Equality

123

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9 feet

2. The ground

3. Absolute values of opposite numbers are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance up the apple tree = 9 feet up

Solving (a): How far he'll climb to come down

In this case, the distance from the ground up to the tree is the same distance back to the ground.

In other words;

Since he climbs 9 feet up, then he'll climb 9 feet down to the ground

Solving (b): What 0 represents

In this case, 0 represents the ground

Solving (c): Absolute values

The absolute values of opposite numbers (from negative to positive) are the same

Take for instance:

And so on...
