Please ask your parents to help you find a textbook and a tutor. Obviously this online class is not working for you. It's your parents' responsibility to see that you are educated, but you are certainly not learning math.

To solve the equation 3x - 8/12 = 9, we need to isolate the variable x by performing a series of steps. The first step is to eliminate any addition or subtraction on the same side as the variable.
Looking at the equation, we see that there is a subtraction of 8/12 on the left side. To remove this, we need to add 8/12 to both sides of the equation.
Therefore, the correct first step in solving the problem is A) Add 8 to both sides.
