Identify the model that can be used to solve the equation 3x + 2 = 5x - 8

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2 = 5x - 8

-3x         -3x

        2 = 2x - 8

     + 8         + 8

       10 = 2x

     ÷ 2  ÷ 2

         5 = x

answer: x= -2y

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
