Which is a reasonable first step that can be used to solve the equation 4X+3 (x+2) = 5 (2x-3) ?

Distribute the 3 to x + 2, and distribute the 5 to (2x - 3).

O Combine 4x and x on the left side of the equation

O Apply the subtraction property of equality to move the 2 from the left to the right side of the equation.

O Apply the addition property of equality to move the 3 from the right to the left side of the equation.

    The reasonable first step would be to distribute.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x+3 (x+2) = 5 (2x-3)

    4x+3x+6=10x-15

    7x+6=10x-15 (subtract 7x from left side, to the right side, add 15 to the left side)

    21=3x (Divide both sides by 3)

    7=x
