Steps to solve:
3x + 2 = 8
~Subtract 2 to both sides
3x = 6
~Divide 3 to both sides
x = 2
Best of Luck!
Sallys statement is always true
for example:
-6 + 2 = -4
but if I turn it around
2 - 6 = -4
same answer
-6 -6 = -12
swap around -6 - 6 = 12
same answer
again -3 + 6 = 3
and 6 - 3 = 3

Correct option is C
Answer:
The equation for nth term is 3n + 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a1 be a,
a3 = a + (n - 1)d
or, 14 = a + (3 - 1)d
so, 14 = a + 2d
Now,
a5 = a + (n - 1)d
or, 20 = a + (5 - 1)d
or, 20 = a + 4d
now,
a + 4d = 20
a + 2d = 14
now,
a + 4d - ( a + 2d) = 20 - 14
or, a + 4d - a - 2d = 6
or, 2d = 6
so, d = 3
Now,
a + 2d = 14
or, a + 2(3) = 14
or, a = 14 - 6
so, a = 8
Now,
an = a + (n - 1)d
or, an = 8 + (n - 1)3
or, an = 8 + 3n - 3
so, an = 3n + 5
