Worksheet Worksheet 5

1.
Check the presentation for errors. If you find one, circle it and describe the mistake in words.
\begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} 5x - y \amp = 4 \\ 5x - (3x + 4) \amp = 4 \amp \eqnspacer \amp \text{Substitute $y = 3x - 2$} \\ 5x - 3x - 4 \amp = 4 \amp \amp \text{Distributive property} \\ 2x - 4 \amp = 4 \amp \amp \text{Combine like terms} \\ 2x \amp = 0 \amp \amp \text{Subtract $4$ from both sides} \\ x \amp = 0 \amp \amp \text{Divide both sides by $2$} \end{aligned} \end{equation*}
2.
Substitute \(n = -2m - 3\) into the expression \(-3m - 2n + 5\) and simplify the result. Use a complete presentation.
3.
Solve the equation \(-2a + 3b - 7 = b\) for when \(b = -a + 2\text{.}\) Use a complete presentation.
