Option A:

All of Jaiden's work is correct. The solution is x = 31.

Solution:

Given equation is 3x – 8 = 2x + 23.

Step 1: 3x – 8 = 2x + 23

Subtract 2x on both side of the equation, we get

⇒ 3x – 8 – 2x = 2x + 23 – 2x

⇒ x – 8 = 23

Step 2: x – 8 = 23

Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

x – 8 + 8 = 23 + 8

x = 31

Step 3: x = 31

The solution is x = 31.

Option A is the correct answer.

So, all of Jaiden's work is correct. The solution is x = 31.
