Choose the answer based on the most efficient method as presented in the lesson. If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x-8=5x+3 is “subtract 2x”, then what should the next step be?
To isolate the term(s) with variables, you would next want to move the 3 to the left side of the equation, since the first step moved the 2x to the right. Therefore answer c) subtract 3
