Marion is solving the equation 9x − 6 = 12

Question

. 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)

the answer is not 2 give me a different answer that's correct

Answer 1

After Marion adds 6 to both sides of the equation \(9x - 6 = 12\), the equation becomes:

\[ 9x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 9x = 18 \]

In the next step, to solve for \(x\), she needs to divide both sides by 9. So, the value that each side needs to be divided by is:

\[ \text{Divide by } 9. \]
