Question

For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides?(1 point)

Responses

6(x − 8) = 48
6 left parenthesis x minus 8 right parenthesis equals 48

6(x + 8) = 48
6 left parenthesis x plus 8 right parenthesis equals 48

6x − 8 = 48
6 x minus 8 equals 48

8(x − 6) = 48

To determine the equation that requires the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then add 8 to both sides, we need to analyze the given equations.

The equation that satisfies the given order of steps is 6x − 8 = 48.

Here is the explanation:

1. Start with the equation: 6x − 8 = 48.

2. To isolate the variable term, we need to first get rid of the constant term "−8" on the left side. To do this, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Resulting equation: 6x − 8 + 8 = 48 + 8.

Simplifying it, we get: 6x = 56.

3. Now, to solve for x, we need to isolate the variable "x" on one side of the equation. We can achieve this by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x, which is 6.

Resulting equation: (6x)/6 = 56/6.

Simplifying it, we get: x = 9.33 (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, the equation that requires the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then add 8 to both sides is 6x − 8 = 48.
