Question

Use the model to solve for x. Please help me I will give out extra points and the brain thing.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 =5

Add 2 to each side

3x-2+2 = 5+2

3x = 7

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 7/3

x = 7/3

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So there's 3 x's, two -1s and 5 +1s.

3x + (2 * -1)  = (5 * 1)

Multiply 2 times -1 and 5 times 1.

3x - 2 = 5

Add 2 to both sides (to cancel out the minus 2.)

3x - 2 + 2 = 5 + 2

3x - 0 = 7

3x = 7

Now, divide both sides by 3 to get the x by itself (so you end up with x = something).

(3x)/3 = 7/3

3/3 simplifies to 1 so you end up with:

x = 7/3
