Equations Write and Solving

Jacob solved the following equation using the steps shown.

Step 1 5x + 9 = 2x - 3

Step 2 3x + 9 = -3

Step 3 3x = -12

Step 4 x = -4

What operation did he perform to get from Step 1 to Step 2?

• Subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation

• Subtracted 9 from both sides of the equation

• Multiplied both sides of the equation by 3

• Added -3 to both sides of the equation
