please help I will give out extra points and give out the brain thing.

Answer 1

I got B hopefully this works

Answer 2

Answer:

B; x = 8

Step-by-step 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
