I remember that I need to combine like terms, but I’m a bit confused about whether to add or subtract first.

I think the answer might be B) x = -2, but I’m not completely confident. I need to double-check my calculations.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like I practiced a similar problem where I had to isolate x. I hope I can remember the steps!

I think I remember that to solve for x, I need to get all the x terms on one side and the constants on the other.
