Beth is solving this equation: 1/x + 3 =3/x she says "I can multiply both sides by X and get the linear equation 1 + 3x = 3 whose solution is x = 2/3 ."
which of the following statements makes this a correct argument, or shows that it is in correct? Select all that apply.

a. you cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.

b. you can assume x = 0 because both sides are undefined if x = 0

c. after multiplying both sides by X you need to subtract 1 from both sides.

d. the equation is not linear, so you cannot use the methods normally used for solving linear equations.

a. you cannot multiply both sides by x because you do not know what x is.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Required

Select which of the option that applies

Considering (a):

A is incorrect:

Because: Multiplying both sides by x has nothing to do with whether the value of x is known or not

Considering (b):

B is incorrect:

Substitute 0 for x in the given expression

Both sides of the equation are undefined

However, you cannot assume x to be 0

Considering (c):

C is correct:

Start by multiplying both sides by x

Then, subtract 1 from both sides

Divide through by 3

Considering (d):

D is incorrect;

Because, the equation is linear

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
