<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :
2x - 8 = 5x + 3
⇒ 
⇒
{ subtract 2x from both side }
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
{ subtract 3 from both sides }
⇒ 
⇒
⇒
{ divide 3 from both sides }
⇒ 
You would use the counting principal. 12X3X3
Hi! From what I know, your answer should be 5n = 1.75.
This is because all 5 of those n's ultimately equal the large box of 1.75 on the top. Think of it as fractions. if we replaced 1.75 with 1, those n's would each be 1/5.
