The best step to take in solving an equation typically depends on the specific equation you are working with. However, a common first step in many cases is to simplify or manipulate the equation in a way that makes it easier to isolate the variable.
If the equation has parentheses, then option **B. Distributive Property** is often a suitable first step. If it involves combining terms, option **A. Combining like terms - substitution** might be applicable.
Without knowing the specific equation you have in mind, I would recommend starting with **B. Distributive Property** if there are any parentheses to deal with.
If you provide the specific equation, I could give a more targeted recommendation!
