Question

The first best step in solving this inequality is to ________ ?
A.
Divide by 4
B.
Add 3
C.
Add 1
D.
Subtract 4x
E.
Subtract 3

Answer 1

To provide the best step in solving the inequality, I'd need to see the specific inequality you are working with. The first step often depends on the form of the inequality. For example:

- If the inequality is in the form \( 4x + 3 < 7 \), then the first best step would be to subtract 3 (Option E).
- If the inequality is \( 4x - 1 > 3 \), you might first want to add 1 (Option B).

Please provide the specific inequality to give a more accurate answer.
