<h2>Answer:</h2>
The first step will be <u>subtract</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>from</u><u> </u><u>each</u><u> </u><u>side</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>model</u>.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
By subtracting 3 from each side of the model, the 3 in the Right Hand Side will be cancelled, and the model will be:
2x = 5 - 3 = 2
Then the next step will be dividing 2 from each side of the model.
<h3>Solution:</h3>
2x + 3 = 5
By subtracting 3 to both the sides, we get
2x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3
or, 2x = 2
By dividing 2 to both the sides, we get
2x/2 = 2/2
or, x = 1
<h2>Answer:</h2>
The value of x is 1.
