Answer two questions about Equations
\[A\] and
\[B\]:

\[\begin{aligned}
A.&&3(x+2)&=18
\\\\
B.&&x+2&=18
\end{aligned}\]
1) How can we get Equation
\[B\] from Equation
\[A\]?
Choose 1 answer:
Choose 1 answer:
(Choice A) Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
A
Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
(Choice B) Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant
B
Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant
(Choice C) Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms
C
Rewrite one side (or both) by combining like terms
(Choice D) Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property
D
Rewrite one side (or both) using the distributive property
