Given the equation:


(x)/(3)-3=11

Let's determine the first operation needed to solve the given equation.

To solve the equation, the first step to take will be to move 3 to the right side of the equation.

To do this, let's add 3 to both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} (x)/(3)-3+3=11+3 \\ \\ (x)/(3)=14 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the first operation needed to solve the given equation is addition.

ANSWER:

Addition
