The equation 9 y minus 6 x = 36 is written in standard form. What is the first step when writing an equivalent equation which solves for x? Divide both sides of the equation by 36. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6. Add 9y to both sides of the equation. Subtract 9y from both sides of the equation.

Answer:

D. Subtract 9y from both sides of the equation.

Explanation:

A. Divide both sides of the equation by 36.

B. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6.

C. Add 9y to both sides of the equation.

D. Subtract 9y from both sides of the equation.

Given:

9y - 6x = 36

To solve for x

Step 1: subtract 9y from both sides

9y - 6x - 9y = 36 - 9y

- 6x = 36 - 9y

Step 2: Divide both sides by -6

- 6x / -6 = (36 - 9y) / - 6

x = (36 - 9y) / - 6

The answer is

x = (36 - 9y) / - 6
