B. The standard method for solving an equation like 3x + 5 = 26 is to use the Division Property of Equality and then the Subtraction Property of Equality.

C. The standard method for solving an equation like 3x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Division Property of Equality.

D. The standard method for solving an equation like 3x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Addition Property of Equality.

Answer 1

The standard method for solving an equation like 3x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Division Property of Equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you subtract both sides by 5 first. Then you divide both sides by 3 to isolate the x.
