Question

andre and diego were each trying to solve 2x + 6=3x - 8. describe the first step they each make to the equation.

the result of andre's first step was -x + 6 =-8

the result of diego's first step was 6= x -8

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation

2x + 6 = 3x - 8

Andre's first step was to subtract 3x from both sides, giving

- x + 6 = - 8 ← correct first step

Diego's first step was to subtract 2x from both sides , giving

6 = x - 8 ← correct first step

Both of them made valid first steps in solving the equation.
