OpenStudy (anonymous):
20, because both sides added are the same number: 20.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Am I correct?
OpenStudy (janu16):
C is not because 5 plus 3 is 8 and 8 plus 2 is 10 and they dont match

A is correct because on both sides equal 20

I meant A is correct in the sense that on both sides are 20 but it's not the answer we're looking for
