Question

Which sentence explains the correct first step in the solution of this equation?

4(x−3)=9

Answer 1

Answer:

You will do the Distributive Property first.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will do the Distributive Property first.

4(x - 3) = 9 distribute the 4 into the x and -3.

4x - 12 = 9 add -12 to both sides.

4x = 21 divide 4 on both sides.

x = 5.25 is your answer.
