Question

In order to solve the equation −3x + 6 = 5, the first step is to (1 point)

Answer 1

   −3x + 6 = 5  | -6   (first step is: "subtract 6 from both sides" )

-3x = 5-6
-3x = -1      |  /(-3)   (second step is: "divide by (-3) on both sides" )


$\displaystyle \\ x = \frac{-1}{-3} = \boxed{\frac{1}{3} }$

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

To solve the given equation −3x + 6 = 5,the first step is to subtract 6 from both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation −3x + 6 = 5

We have to solve for  x in the equation −3x + 6 = 5.

Consider, the equation −3x + 6 = 5

First step:  Subtract 6 both side , we get

⇒ −3x + 6 - 6 = 5 - 6

⇒ −3x  = -1

Second step : Divide both side by -3 , we get,

$x=\frac{1}{3}$

Thus, option (C) is correct.

To solve the given equation −3x + 6 = 5,the first step is to subtract 6 from both sides
