The first step in solving the equation \( 7(x - 8) = 49 \) for \( x \) is to divide both sides by 7. This simplifies the equation and allows you to isolate the term containing \( x \).
So the correct response is: Divide both sides by 7.
Identify the first step in solving this equation for x : 7(x − 8) = 49 . (1 point) Responses Multiply both sides by 7. Multiply both sides by 7. Add 8 to both sides. Add 8 to both sides. Divide only the left side by 7. Divide only the left side by 7. Divide both sides by 7.
