2a. Annotate and describe the similarities and differences between Clare and Lin's methods. Here is an equation, and then all the steps Clare Here is the same equation,

14.x - 2x + 3 = 3(5x +9)
12x + 3 = 3(5x + 9)
3(4x + 1) = 3(5x + 9)
4x +1= 5x + 9
1=+9
-8= x

and the steps Lin wrote
wrote to solve it:
to solve it:
14x – 2x + 3 = 3(5x +9)
12x +3=3(5x + 9)
12x + 3 = 152 + 27
12x = 152 + 24
-3x = 24
2 = -8
