The equation 2x + 3 = 5 is modeled below +

What is the first step in finding the value of x?
Add 3 to each side of the model
Subtract 3 from each side of the model
Add 5 to each side of the model
Subtract 5 from each side of the model

The first step will be subtract 3 from each side of the model.

By subtracting 3 from each side of the model, the 3 in the Right Hand Side will be cancelled, and the model will be:

2x = 5 - 3 = 2

Then the next step will be dividing 2 from each side of the model.

2x + 3 = 5

By subtracting 3 to both the sides, we get

2x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3

or, 2x = 2

By dividing 2 to both the sides, we get

2x/2 = 2/2

or, x = 1

The value of x is 1.

y=mx+b is the final answer!   : )

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6
