Zachary is solving the following equation. Three-fourths (x minus 8) = 12

Which is the best first step to begin to simplify the equation?

look below

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute 3/4 into (x-8)= 3/4x-6

3/4x-6=12

then add 6 to both sides to get rid of -6

3/4x=18

Now multiply 4 times 18 to get rid of division (72)

now you are left with 3x=72, so you now divide by 3 and you get x=24

.25

step-by-step explanation:

it would rotate about 180 degrees.
