Answer:
B. The student did not properly apply the addition property to isolate x
Explanation:
When given an equation to solve, always remember that when you do an external operation (add/subtract/multiply a term or divide by a term) on one side of the equation, the same operation should be applied on the other side in order to maintain the equality of the equation.
Now, let's take a look on the steps done:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
3 = -x
Now, note n step 2, the student wanted to get rid of the 2 next to the x, therefore, he subtracted 2. However, the student did not subtract the 2 from the other side of the equation. Since we're taking addition (we're adding a -2), therefore, the student incorrectly applied the addition property to isolate the x.
The correct steps would be as follows:
Step 1:
3 = 2 - x
Step 2:
3 - 2 = 2 - 2 - x
Step 3:
1 = - x
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
96 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The 144 degrees is on a straight line, meaning the angle next to it inside the triangle and 144 are supplementary. They add up to 180 degrees.
Coincidentally, the other two angles plus the third, unlabeled angle will add up to 180 degrees as well, meaning that the the 48+x = 144 degrees (according the property of equality, which is if a=b and b=c, then a=c). Solve for x from there:
x = 144-48
x = 96
