Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 58(x - 12) = 10 \), the first step is to reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides of the equation by 58.

So, you should divide both sides by 58.

Answer 3

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let's clarify the steps involved in solving the equation \( 58(x - 12) = 10 \).

If we are reversing the multiplication in the equation \( 58(x - 12) = 10 \), we would not divide by 58 directly at the beginning. Instead, we want to isolate \( (x - 12) \).

The step after multiplying would typically involve dividing both sides of the equation by 58. However, if we're looking for a different approach that specifically reverses the multiplication, we would indeed start by dividing both sides by 58.

So the intended answer would still be 58 as the number to divide both sides by in this context.

If you are looking for something different, please clarify your question, and I'll be glad to help further!
