Answer:

A. Jacob added -3 to both sides and multiplied both sides by 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, Jacob must add -3 to both sides, and multiply by 1/2 both of them, as it's shown below:

[tex]2x+3-3=5-3\\2x=2\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{2}{2}\\x=1[/tex]

So, you see, applying all operations like option A, we easily solve the equation.

Therefore, the right statement is the first one, A.

Answer:

The correct option is A) Jacob added -3 to both sises and multiplied both sides by 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

[tex]2x+3=5[/tex] -------- (1)

Solution :

To find the value of x from equation (1) we have to first add both side -3 in equation (1), we get

[tex]2x = 2[/tex]

Now, multiply both the side of equation (1) by

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x= 1[/tex]

Therefore option A) is correct.
