For which equation is the order of steps to first divide both sides by 6 and then to add 8 to both sides?
8(x − 6) = 48
6(x + 8) = 48
6x − 8 = 48
6(x − 8) = 48

To determine the equation for which the order of steps is first dividing both sides by 6 and then adding 8 to both sides, we need to analyze each equation:
1. 8(x - 6) = 48
This equation involves multiplying both sides by 8 initially. Therefore, it does not match the required order of steps.
2. 6(x + 8) = 48
This equation involves multiplying both sides by 6 initially. Therefore, it also does not match the required order of steps.
3. 6x - 8 = 48
This equation involves subtracting 8 from both sides initially. Therefore, it does not match the required order of steps.
4. 6(x - 8) = 48
This equation conforms to the required order of steps. Initially, you would divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable, and then add 8 to both sides to solve for x.
In conclusion, the equation that matches the order of steps specified is 6(x - 8) = 48.
