God bless justify each step of the solution by stating the property that was used to get to each step. given: 4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132 step 1: -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132 step 2: –12 = -72x + 132 step 3: -144 = -72x step 4: 2 = x

4(-6x – 3) + 24x = -72x + 132

Step 1  -24x – 12 + 24x = -72x + 132    Distribute Property of Equality

Step 2: –12 = -72x + 132    equivalent

Step 3: -144 = -72x    Subtraction Property of equality

Step 4: 2 = x   Equivalent / Division property of equality

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
