Question

lesson 3: balanced moves
match the equation balancing
tipcs with the description of
what was done in each step
step 2
6x - 3 = 5
6x = 8
add 3 to both sides a
multiply both sides by \\(\frac{1}{6}\\) b
divide both sides by 2 c

Explanation:

Step1: Compare initial and final equations

Initial: $6x - 3 = 5$, Final: $6x = 8$

Step2: Identify the operation applied

To eliminate $-3$ on the left, add 3 to both sides:
$6x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3$ simplifies to $6x = 8$

Answer:

A. Add 3 to both sides
