the goal is to get x alone while remembering that what you do to one side you have to do to the other!

anonymous · Answer

can you start by removing the 5 from the side that has the x? show me what you got!

anonymous · Answer

but... actually, none of those answers are correct. did you type in the question properly?

gavin39 · Answer

Yeah straight from the question online (im virtual school). We are left with 3=4

gavin39 · Answer

That was I was thinking it didn't work right

anonymous · Answer

we get 3x-5 +5 = 9 +5

gavin39 · Answer

the only one I can think of it being is 2

anonymous · Answer

3x - 0 = 14
are you able to see why?

gavin39 · Answer

wait are you using pemdas?

gavin39 · Answer

O wait you sitched the 5 and 9 I see

anonymous · Answer

i am moving stuff around so that x can be alone on 1 side.
3x-5 = 9 right?
yes!

gavin39 · Answer

ah ok I see!

anonymous · Answer

once you have 3x = 14 how could you get rid of that 3 on the  left side?

anonymous · Answer

14/3 is still not any of those

anonymous · Answer
