Hi!
<h3>Let's do the first step (add 2x). </h3>
5 + 3x + 2x = -2x + 2x + 9
<em>5 + 5x = 9</em>
<h3>Our goal is to isolate x on one side, so the next step would be to subtract 5 (or add -5).</h3>
5 + -5 + 5x = 9 + -5
<u><em>5x = 4</em></u>
<h2>The answer is B. add -5</h2><h3><em>And if you want to finish solving, you would divide by 5 on both sides.</em></h3>
5x/5 = 4/5
x = 0.8
Hope this helps! :)

B but I'm not as sure though
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x + 7) = 0
By Zero Product rule,
either x = 0 or (x + 7) = 0.
=> x = 0 or x = -7.
We need more to answer the question I think
The GCF of 36 and 81 is 9
36/9 = 4 water balloons
81/9 = 9 beads
Katrina can invite 9 friends, with each getting 4 water balloons and 9 beads
