as the first step in solving 3x-1=8, Stella multiplies by 1/3 on both sides. what advice would you give her about the procedure for solving equations

Respuesta :

Before multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/3, first move the -1 over to the right side with a plus, so we get 3x = 9. Then multiply by 1/3 and you get x = 4
