For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides and then to add 8 to both sides

Answer 1

The equation for which the order of steps is first dividing both sides, and then adding 8 to both sides, can be represented as:

\[ \frac{x}{3} - 4 = 12 \]

To solve this equation, we will start with dividing both sides by 3:

\[ \frac{\frac{x}{3} - 4}{3} = \frac{12}{3} \]

Simplifying further:

\[ \frac{x}{9} - \frac{4}{3} = 4 \]

Now, we can add 8 to both sides:

\[ \frac{x}{9} - \frac{4}{3} + 8 = 4 + 8 \]

Finally, simplifying the equation:

\[ \frac{x}{9} + \frac{20}{3} = 12 \]
