Question

When solving the given equation, what is the first step?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that x - 3 = 8

It's an equation. The first thing you do is add or subtract when you are learning how to handle equations. This is a level 1 equation. That means that the solution is just to add or subtract something.

In this case, x has 3 taken away from it. So you have to get x by  itself. The way to do that is to add 3. Then the -3 on the left disappears.

x - 3 + 3 = 8+3

x = 11

The answer is A
