The first step in solving the equation 3+|2x−1|=8 is to isolate the absolute value expression. What is the first step to isolate the absolute value expression?

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test and this is the right answer.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
