3x + 10 + 2x = 2 (x + 8)

5x + 10 = 2x + 16

What is the next step? Drag the correct part under the equation. Be sure to put the one labeled left on the left.

d

a

-2x (right side)

-2x (left side)

/2x (right side)

/2x (left side)

Describe what was done in each solving step!

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Step 4

• Subtract 4x from both sides

• Step 1

• Divide by -10 on both sides

• Step 5

• Distribute

• Step 3

• Combine Like Terms

• Step 2

3x + 10 + 2x = 2 (x + 8)
