When you are adding or subtracting fractions make it so the denominators (the bottom number) match

2 and 3/8 could be kept the same

Change 3/4 to 6/8 (because 4 times 2 is 8 and 3 times 2 is 6)

Now you do 2 and 3/8 - 6/8 which is 1 and 5/8 which is less than 2

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Remove 1 x-tile from both sides.

Remove 3 unit tiles from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = x + 5

First we want all the variables on one side

Subtract x from each side so Remove 1 x-tile from both sides.

x+3 = 5

Now we need to get all the constants on the same side
