In solving 2x -5 = 3 do you have to use the addition property of equality first ? Why or why not ? Why do you nomrally use the addition or equality first ?

In that equation, you have to add the 5 over to the 3. You do this because you want the variable (x) by itself, meaning on one side. That’s why after you add the 5, you will have to divide by 2 to get x by itself. Hope this helps.

its definatley   this on your answer choice?

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
