Violet was carrying around the steps to solve 3x +1 = 4. On her way through the Math Factory,
correct steps in order to solve 3x + 1 = 4.
A. Subtract 1 from both sides B. Subtract 4 from both sides C. Square root both sides
D. Square both sides E. Divide by 3 from both sides F. Divide by 4 from both sides
First A, then E, then D
First D. then B, then A
First D, then A, then E
First C, then E, then A

First A, then E, then D

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 = 4

3x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1

3x = 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x = 1

problem 2: 40 pounds on mars

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for direct variation is y=kx. if i assume that the weight on mars is x and y is earth, we can input these numbers to find k. the equation is (using the given numbers) 150=k50. using isolation, we know k is 3. for the main problem, we can input our givens again to find the answer. 120=3x. isolation again, x=40
