Question

Which of the following is the same as 5 - 3x = 2x *

a 1+1+1+1+1 - x -x -x -x -x = x+x
b 1+1+1+1+1 - x - x - x = - x - x
c 1+1+1+1+1 - x - x - x = x + x

Answer 1

Answer C

Explanation:

Notice that 5 can be written as 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

and - 3x can be written as -x -x -x

and on the other side of the equal sign, you have 2x which is the same as: x + x

So answer C is the correct answer.
