Question

The first step to solve the equation x/4 - 3/4 = 16 is shown below?

x/4 - 3/4 + 3/4 = 16 + 3/4

A.Addition Property of Equality
B.Subtraction Property of Equality
C.Multiplication Property of Equality
D.Division Property of Equality

Answer 1

i think it is A because that seems like the one making the most sense

Answer 2

The first step to solve the equation Addition Property of Equality.

Explanation:

Given the equation

`(x)/(4)-(3)/(4)=16`

we have to find the first step to solve the above equation.

To solve the above equation we have to combine the like terms here we have to combine the constant terms.

`(x)/(4)-(3)/(4)=16`

`\text{Therefore, to solve the equation we have to add }(3)/(4)\text{ on both sides}`

`(x)/(4)-(3)/(4)+(3)/(4)=16+(3)/(4)`

`(x)/(4)=(67)/(4)`

`x=67`

Hence, the first step to solve the equation is the
