no, Sara subtracted 2x on one side and added 2x on the other side

Explanation:

The addition property of equality requires that the same value be added to both sides of an equation.

Sara wants to remove the -2x term from the right side of the equation, so rightfully adds 2x to that side of the equation. According to the addition property of equality, she must also add 2x to the left side of the equation. This will give her ...
