When solving the equation −1/2(x+10)=−3 , identify the operation that should be done first.(1 point) Responses add 10 add 10 divide by −2 divide by negative 2 multiply by −2 multiply by negative 2 subtract 10 subtract 10

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{1}{2}(x+10) = -3\), the first operation you should perform is to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by \(-2\).

So, the correct response is multiply by −2.
