1 answer

To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( \frac{y}{3} = 6 + x \), the first step you would need to take is to eliminate the fraction. The most straightforward way to do this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

So, the correct response is:

D: to multiply each term on both sides of the equation by 3.
