Which equation is the result of these steps? 7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3 2 x + 6 + 5 x = 6 x minus 3 2 x + 3 + 5 x = 6 x minus 1 7 x + 3 = 6 x minus 1

Answer 1

The answer is A

Explanation:

I did the quiz and got it right. Also, its the only one that makes sense!!

;) Duhh....

Answer 2

7x + 6 = 6x - 3

Explanation:
