Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

if you had x+1=2, would you know how to do that?

Answer 5

do you add 1 to the other side?

Answer 6

do you mean, x+1=2+1? (like is that what you're saying?)

Answer 7

Answer 8

ok so what would you do next?

Answer 9

Answer 10

haha, ok well. let's start simpler then without all the x stuff
so 2=2. right?
so if this was some sort of equation and i felt like adding 1 to a side:
2+1=2. does that make sense?
