Hi!
<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>
5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9
<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>
<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>
5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5
<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>
<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>
5x/5 = 4/5
x = 0.8
Hope this helps! :)

$480 is the price after the discount was added. We can then assume that $480 is 3/4 the price of the original item. To find 1/4, we simply divide by 3, which equals $160. since $160 is one quarter of the price, the original price was $640.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
3x+12+7x+88=180
10x+100=180
10×=80
X=8
Part B:
m<RPS=3x+12
(3*8)+12
