Zachary is solving the following equation. 3/4 (x-8)= 12 which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation multipliy both sides of the equation by 3/4 divide both sides of the equation by 4/3 distribute 3/4 over (x-8). distribute 4/3 over (x-8)

C.Distribute over (x-8).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Zachary is solving an equation

We have to find that which best first step to begin to simplify the equation.

If distribute over (x-8)

Distributive property:

Using this property

Then, we get

Using subtractive  property of equality

Hence, First  best step is distribute over (x-8) to begin to simplify the equation

C.Distribute over (x-8).
