What operation is equivalent to multiplying each term by one-half?

• Adding two to each term

• Dividing each term by two

• Multiplying each term by two

• Subtracting one from each term

What is the result of adding 3 to both sides of the equation 6x + (-3) = 5?

• 6x = 8

• 6x = 10

• 6x = 5

• 6x = 2

How is the solution x = 4/3 derived from 6x = 8?

What is the result of factoring out 6 from 12x - 6?

• 3x - 2

• 2x - 1

• 6x - 3

• 12x - 6

What should be done instead of dividing both sides by 2?

• Add 2 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Divide each term by 2

What is the correct way to express 12x - 6 divided by 2?

• 12x + 6

• 6x + 3

• 12x - 6

• 6x - 3

What is the purpose of factoring out in the equation?

• To change the equation's solution

• To make the equation more complex
