The solution to 2x+3=8 falls between what consecutive integers

A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 3
C. 3 and 4
D. 4 and 5

Can you explain how to get the answer?
The Answer is B

The solution to
2x + 3 = 8 falls between
what consecutive integers?
2x = 8 - 3
x = 5/2
Answer:
B. 2 and 3

yes, in order to get x on the left side of the equal sign, you have to get all the numbers on the right side. To do that, you must reverse their sign (in other words if you're adding, you must subtract, and if you're multiplying you must divide.)
So, for starters you move the 3 to the other side of the equals sign. To do that you must reverse the sign. Since you're adding 3 on the left, you must subtract it on the right. So now you have: 2x=8-3, and when you subtract 3 from 8, you then have 2x=5.
Then you need to move the 2 to the other side of the equals sign. Since you have 2 TIMES x, you must divide it to get it on the other side. Thus you end up with x=5 divided 2 (or x=5/2) When you divide 5 by 2, you get 2.5, so your final answer is x=2.5 Since 2.5 falls between 2 and 3, your answer is B.
Hope this helps!!

2x+3=8
2x = 5
x = 3.5

x is in between of 3 and 4 which is
3.5

answer is C

B
