Jada and Priya are trying to solve the equation 23+x=4.

Jada says, "I think we should multiply each side by 32 because that is the reciprocal of 23."

Priya says, "I think we should add - 23 to each side because that is the opposite of 23."

Which person's strategy should they use? Why?

Write an equation that can be solved using the other person's strategy.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First you want to isolate the variable. To do that you would add - 23 to 23 making it 0. You'd do the same to the other side making it - 19. So x = - 19

    Check

    23+-19=4
