Let’s try to isolate the variable, x. Since there are x terms on both sides of the equation, let’s get rid of the x term from one of the sides. What move can you make to get rid of the x on the right side of the equation while keeping the equation balanced?

x = x+1

A.Subtract x from each side

B.Multiply each side by x

C.Add x to each side

1 answer

To isolate the variable \( x \) and get rid of the \( x \) on the right side of the equation, you can subtract \( x \) from each side. This will keep the equation balanced.

So the correct move is:

A. Subtract \( x \) from each side.

This simplifies the equation as follows:

\[ x - x = x + 1 - x \]

Which results in:

\[ 0 = 1 \]

This indicates that the original equation \( x = x + 1 \) has no solutions.
