Answer 2

Answer:

First option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$x+3=5$

To find the answer we need to subtract three on both sides, since we are given a positive three ( + 3) instead of a negative three (- 3) If the equation was " x - 3 = 5 " we would then add three on both sides but in this case we have a positive three.

$x+3=5$
$3-3=0$
$5-3=2$
$x=2$

Which means your answer is the first option or "subtract 3 from both sides."

Hope this helps.
