Question

Which steps should be taken to solve the equation

Answer 1

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

Subtract 3 from each side so Remove 3 unit tiles from both sides.

x = 5-3

x=2

Answer 2

Answer:

Remove 3 unit tiles from both sides.

Remove 1 x-tile from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Removing 3 unit tiles from both sides, you get:

2x = x + 2

Removing 1 x-tile from both sides, you get:

x = 2
