Question

Use the model to solve for x.

A) x = 4
B) x = 8
C) x =
please help I will give out extra points and give out the brain thing.

Answer 1

B; x = 8

Explanation:

I think I understand what the picture is saying. So,

On the left hand side, the x's and +1's represent the following expression:

`2x +5`.

On the right hand side, the x's and -1's represent the following expression:

`3x -3`.

Put these two together and you get the following equation:

`2x +5` =
`3x -3`

First, Solve for x:

8 = x

So, when solving the equation, x is equal to 8

Answer 2

I got B hopefully this works
