Question

Two-sided equations help? I'm a beginner with this type..Need someone to go step by step. Picture included.

Answer 1

Nevermind, I got it.

Answer 2

The answer would be B), since you would need to subtract first, then divide
Equation: \(3x+5=26\)

The first thing you would do is to minus both sides by 5, so you can get rid of it to the left hand side\[3x+\boxed{5}=26\]\[3x+\boxed{5-5}=26\boxed{-5}\]\[3x=21\]

The second thing you would do is divide both sides by \(3\)
\[\boxed{3}x=21\]\[\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{21}{3}\]\[\frac{\cancel{3}x}{\cancel{3}}=\frac{21}{3}\]\[x=7\]

To get the answer, you needed to subtract first, then divide. Therefore, it would be the second option, using the Subtraction Property of Equality, then Division Property of Equality.

Answer 3

That would be the explanation, @brandonfrabel :)
