10 John was given the equation 4(2a +3) = -3(a-1)+31-1la to solve. Some of the steps and their reasons have already been completed. State a property of numbers for each missing reason. %3D 4(2a +3) =-3(a-1)+31-1la Given 8a + 12 = -3a +3+31-11a 8a +12 34- 14a Combining like terms 22a + 12 34

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
