Quinda begins to solve the equation mc011-1.jpg by adding 8.5x to each side of the equation. which next step would result in the variable terms and constant terms being on different sides of the equals sign? subtract 4x from both sides. subtract 2 from both sides. add 4x to both sides. subtract 3 from both sides.

The complete question is
Quinda begins to solve the equation -4.5x+3=2-8.5x by adding 8.5x to each side of the equation. Which next step would result in the variable terms and constant terms being on different sides of the equals sign?

we have that
-4.5x+3=2-8.5x 
adding 8.5x to each side of the equation
-4.5x+3+8.5x=2-8.5x+8.5x> 4x+3=2
the next step is Subtract 3 from both sides.
so
4x+3-3=2-3> 4x=-1
the variable term and constant term result being on different sides of the equals sign

therefore

the answer is the option 
Subtract 3 from both sides.
