Answer:
A. Add 3 to both sides of the equation
Explanation:
The inequality equation is not well written Let's say the equation is given as:
5x - 3 > 2
The best first step in solving this equation is by removing - 3 from the left hand side of the equation since all we want to do is make x the subject of the formula:
To remove the -3, we will have to add 3 to both sides of the inequality as shown:
5x - 3 + 3> 2 +3
5x + 0 > 5
5x > 5
To get x, we will then divide both sides by 5
5x/5 > 5/5
x > 1
hence the best first step according to the explanation above is to Add 3 to both sides of the equation. Option A is correct
