Marion is solving the equation 9x - 6 = 12 As a first step, she adds 6 to both sides of the equation. In the next step, by what value does each side need to be divided? (1 point)

As a first step, Marion adds 6 to both sides of the equation:

9x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6

which simplifies to:

9x = 18

To isolate the variable x, Marion needs to divide both sides of the equation by 9.

So, each side needs to be divided by 9.
