To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 9.8 ( x - 2.14 ) = 53.9 \), the first step is to divide both sides by 9.8. This will help isolate the term with \( x \) on one side.
So the correct first step is: Divide both sides by 9.8.
What is the first step in solving for x in the equation 9.8 ( x - 2.14 ) = 53.9
Add 2.14 to both sides
Multiply both sides by 9.8
Divide both dies by 9.8
Divide only the left-hand side by 9.8
