Question

Find the first step to solve this equation:
-11 - 3x = 44

  1. Add 3 to both sides
  2. Subtract 11 from both sides
  3. Add 11 to both sides
  4. Divide 3 on both sides.

hintHint:

Use two step process to solve 

First step be  Addition as -11 is negative so to make it 0 add 11 , So Add 11 to both sides .

The correct answer is: Add 11 to both sides


    Given -11 - 3x = 44
    first step would be
    As -11 is the number along with variable and it is in minus
    So , do Addition of it on both sides .
    Add 11 to both sides , is the first step .

    First step be either addition / subtraction 

    if +ve sign is there in lhs with the number then subtract this number to both sides .

    if -ve sign is there in lhs with number then  add this number  to both side 

    And second step be division or multiplication ,

     After the above process if lhs variable is in multiply  , divide the number to both sides .

    After the above process if lhs variable is in divide multiply the number to both sides .

    James earned a total of $900 last week. This total was $10 less than five times the amount he earned last week. Find the amount of money James earned last week.

    In this question, we have to write the equation. Here less than is given that means subtraction. If subtract, subtract from, difference , between, less, less than, exceeds , etc words are used then it is always subtraction between two numbers.
