x
2
+
3
=
1
5
Which of the following is a valid first step in the solution process?

Group of answer choices

Subtract 3 from both sides to get (x/2) = (-14/5)

Multiply the equation by 5 to get 5x + 15 = 2

Subtract 1/5 from both sides to get (x/2) + 2/5 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides to get

Multiply the equation by 10 to get 5x + 30 = 2

Subtract 2 from each side to get (x/3) = (-7/4)

Answer 1

The equation is undecipherable.

Explanation:

What is:

5

???

x/2 + 3 = 15?

If so:

x/2 + 3 = 15

x/2 + 3 = 15 [Multiply both sides by 2]

x + 6 = 30

x = 24 [Subtract 6 from both sides]
