Step 2 is the condensed or reduced version of step 1.

# data[].attributes.body
different operations are used to "undo" or "unravel" the problem

# data[].attributes.body
Similarity: cancellation

# data[].attributes.body
they are similar

# data[].attributes.body
Similar is the use of inverse operation. Different is the operation and the number used.

# data[].attributes.body
they are similar

# data[].attributes.body
in Step 1, to cancel out, subtraction is used and Step 2, division is used.

# data[].attributes.body
Similar: they both refer to the same concept

# data[].attributes.body
I meant step 2

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 ended with the coefficient of 1 to show x = 1 times  x

# data[].attributes.body
In the first subtraction is being used in the second it is division

# data[].attributes.body
The are both the same because they are both using the inverse operations.

# data[].attributes.body
Step 2 relies on step 1 to occur

# data[].attributes.body
However, while we subtracted 3 from both sides in EQ 1 to get like terms together,, we divided both sides by 2 to solve for x in EQ 2

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 and step 2 are different by step 1 after subtracting 3 from both sides you are left with 2x=8 and in step 2 after completing dividing both sides by 2 your completed equation response is x=4.

# data[].attributes.body
Inverse operations, first subtracting and second to divide

# data[].attributes.body
Both steps are used to isolate the variable

# data[].attributes.body
Difference: use of different operations

# data[].attributes.body
both steps maintain equalities on both sides of the equations

# data[].attributes.body
In Step 2, we are engaging in the inverse operation of multiplication which is division to solve for x.

# data[].attributes.body
Contrst: the first step used the inverse of addition, while the second used the inverse of multiplication

# data[].attributes.body
both steps use the inverse operations

# data[].attributes.body
Steps 1 & 2 involves isolating the variable x

# data[].attributes.body
Step 1 and step 2 both include using the inverse operation (step 1 subtraction and addition and step 2 division and multiplication(

# data[].attributes.body
they both use the inverse operation in step 1 the inverse operation = 0 and in step 2 it's 1

# data[].attributes.body
In step 1, we are engaging in the inverse operation of addition which is subtracting 3 from both sides.

# data[].attributes.body
Comparison: both steps used the inverse operation
