for which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides?

A) 8 (x - 6) = 48
B) 6 (x + 8)= 48
C) 6 (x - 8) = 48
D) 6 x - 8 = 48

1 answer

The correct equation is C) 6 (x - 8) = 48.

To solve this equation, the order of steps is to first divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable x, and then to add 8 to both sides to solve for x.
