The best step to solve an equation often depends on the specific form of the equation you're working with. However, if you're looking for a general first step that can be useful in many situations, the Distributive Property (option B) is often a good choice when there are parentheses involved. If there are no parentheses, then combining like terms (option A) could also be a valid first step.
For a definitive answer, I would need to know the specific equation you're trying to solve. If we're dealing with an equation that has parentheses, then:
**B. Distributive Property**
is the best choice. If it's a simpler linear equation without parentheses, then combining like terms (A) would be more applicable.
