Question

What is the first step to solve this equation:

11 - 3x = 44

Answer 1

Add 3x to both sides

Explanation:

after you add 3x you get 11=3x+44

next you subtract 44 from each side

you then get -33=3x then you divide by 3 on both sides and your final answer is x= -11

Answer 2

11-3x=44

-11 -11

-3x=33

/-3 /-3

x=-11
