identify the first step in solving this equation for x: -3 = x/4 + 2
The first step in solving the equation -3 = x/4 + 2 is to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
a. subtract 2 from both sides
b. add 2 to both sides
c. divide both sides by 4
d. multiply both sides by 2
b. add 2 to both sides
are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides. My previous response was incorrect. So the correct first step is:
a. subtract 2 from both sides.
which one is it

what is the solutioin of the equation 10z - 6 = 24 solving for z
To solve the equation 10z - 6 = 24 for z, you can follow these steps:
1. Begin by isolating the variable term by adding 6 to both sides of the equation:
10z - 6 + 6 = 24 + 6
Simplifying the equation:
10z = 30
2. Next, divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for z:
10z/10 = 30/10
Simplifying the equation:
z = 3
Thus, the solution to the equation 10z - 6 = 24 is z = 3.
jenny is solving this equation for n: 8 + 3n = 20. His first step is to subtrat 8 from both sides of the equation. Why?
a. 8 is the first term in the equation
b. 8 is attached to 3n by subtraction
c. he needs to follow the order of operations
d. he needs to reverse the order of operations.
