Drag a statement or reason to each box to complete this proof. if −2(x+1)=8, then x=−5. statement reason 1. −2(x+1)=8 given 2. −2(x+1)−2=8−2 3. simplifying 4. x+1−1=−4−1 5. simplifying

1) Given −2(x+1)=8

2) Division Property of Equality (dividing both sides of the equation by -2)

3)

4) Simplifying

5) x+1=-4

6) Substraction Property of Equality (substracting 1 on both sides of the equation)

7) x+1−1=−4−1

8) Simplifying

9) x=-5

(bro she is ancient)

j < 14

j is jakes age

since jake is younger it makes his age less than his sisters

(if you meant she is 14)
