Alicia is solving the equation 2.3x-1.6=8.8-2.9x. Which equations represent possible ways to begin solving for x? Check all that apply.

2.3x-10.4=-2.9x

5.2x-1.6=8.8

-6.5x-1.6=-2.9x

2.3x+1.3=8.8

2.3x=10.4-2.9x

While solving an equation the first step is to get the variable (x) alone on either side.

2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x

+ 1.6 + 1.6

2.3 x = 10.4 - 2.9 x

2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x

-8.8 - 8.8

2.3 x - 10.4 = 2.9 x

2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x

+2.9 x + 2.9 x

5.2 x - 1.6 = 8.8
