What is the first step in solving for w in the equation 3w + 5 = 14?

• Add 5 to both sides of the equal sign

• Divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

• Subtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign

• Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

Solve for k:
3k + 5 = 23

• k = 4

• k = 5

• k = 6

• k = 7
