Question

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

add 6 to both sides
divide by 5 on both sides
subtract 6 from both sides
multiply by 5 on both sides

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 = (-1)/(-3) = \boxed{(1)/(3) }`

Answer 2

Option (C) is correct.

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

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=(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
