Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP

Solve the equations by modeling. Draw the steps.

Solve 5x - 4 = 3x + 8


- Model


- perform the step to have variables (circles) on only one side


- Write the resulting step



-Perform the step to have the variables (circles) alone on one side


-Write the resulting step


Divide the variables (circles) and numbers (squares) into equal groups

Answer 1

x = 1.5

Explanation:

5x - 4 = 3x + 8

so add 3x to 5x.

8x - 4 = 8

then add 4 to 8.

8 x = 12

then divide by 8.

x = 1.5

I think this is correct, sorry if it isn't.
