Justifying Steps Example: Solve for x. JUSTIFY each step. Statement Reason 2(x - 3) +12 = 14 Given 2x – 6 + 12 = 14 2x + 6 = 14 2x = 8 x = 4 4
Justifying Steps Example: Solve for x and justify each step. B A x Given: (2x+10) C O Statement Reason x + 2x + 10 = 139 3x + 10 = 139 3x = 129 x = 43
Justifying Steps Example: Solve for m and justify each step Z 2m 5m + 11 Given: XZ = 32 Reason Statement XZ = 32 XY + YZ = XZ 2m + 5m + 11 = 32 7m + 11 = 32 7m = 21 m = 3
