Question

What is the best first step in solving the following equation 10+x/3=1

Answer 1

Answer:

Do the Division first.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you remember PEMDAS, or BOMDAS if you prefer, division and multiplication comes before addition and subtraction.

x, in this case, would equal -27. (-27 ÷ 3 = -9) then add 10

(-9 + 10 = 1)

Answer 2

Answer:27

Step-by-step explanation:

10+x/3=1

L. C. M=3

Divide both side by the l. C. M

30=x+3

X=30-3

X=27
