Question

Help i ran out of answers to sseeee PLZ COMMENT

Tucker was asked to solve the equation 5x + 3 = 6x + 1. He did not know if his first step should be to add 5 negative x-tiles, or 1 negative unit tile, to both sides. What advice would you give Tucker to help him decide on his first step? Explain.

Answer 1

this is what i used as my answer on the advice i would give tucker for what to do as his first step.

Explanation:

i would tell tucker to add 5 negative x-tiles because then he would be isolating the x variable and that would help him with not getting confused when gets to the part where he has to isolate the variable if he was to add 1 negative unit tile to both sides as his first step.

Which did you include in your response?:

Either first step will isolate the variable.

Answer 2

Subtract 5x

Explanation:

Cause then you would only get one x in the equation instead of 6x and 5x. Hope this helps!
