Question

the first step to solve for y in $\frac{y}{3}=6 + x$ is
a to subtract x from both sides of the equation.
b to subtract $\frac{y}{3}$ from both sides of the equation.
c to divide each term on both sides of the equation by 3.
d to multiply each term on both sides of the equation by 3.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate y

To get y alone on the left - hand side of the equation $\frac{y}{3}=6 + x$, we need to undo the division by 3.

Step2: Use multiplication property

The inverse operation of division by 3 is multiplication by 3. So we multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

Answer:

D. to multiply each term on both sides of the equation by 3.
