Answer:

Subtract 1x from both sides

B) Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides

Explanation:

I glanced over both equations and noticed only one thing was really different from them bot. There was an extra x in equation A. Then I noticed if you add the 1x t both sides of equation A than it would be the same as equation B. That is when I realized that equation B needed 1x subtracted from both sides.

A) Add/subtract a quantity to/from only one side

B) Add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides

C) Multiply/divide only one side by a non-zero constant

D) Multiply/divide both sides by the same non-zero constant

Answer:

All you have to do on A. where there's a -x, you do the opposite to both sides of the equation or equal sign. Then you get A. from 4x+2=6-x to 5x+2=6.

Explanation:

4x + 2 = 6 - x

+x +x

5x + 2 = 6

Hope this helps!
