<p>Hi! i just took a practice test from collegeboard and bumped into these types of questions
check the following one</p>
<p>Three more than twice a number is equal to 4. What is the number?
Step 1: A A A A<br>
Step 2: A A A A </p>
<p>the As represent the boxed where youre supposed to write your answer now i dont have have problem with the question itself but what do they want us to write in step 1? i personally thought maybe of a guidance step to show how you received but that doesnt really work when you only have 4 boxes i quickly figured out that step 2 is where you insert your answer are we obligated fill in the step 1? </p>
<p>thanks in advance
edit i mean math of course</p>
