If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Include the final answer in your
explanation. Complete your work in the space provided or upload a file that can display math symbols if your work
requires it

step by step below.

Step-by-step explanation:

after subtracting the 2x, youd have 3x on the right side. and they you would want to get the numbers on one side, so subract the 3 to the left side. and then you would have -11.

solve for x if necessary

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
