What is the first step in solving the equation 3y + x = 6 for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would i subtract the 3x with the 6 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

hi duck... unsolvable: 2 unknowns can only be solved with 2 equations, unless you just want x in terms of y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. Subtract 3y from both sides of the equation. B. Subtract x from both sides of the equation. C. Divide each side of the equation by 6. D. Divide each side of the equation by 3. these are my answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would say in terms of y right ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

yup, and u were right then, subtract 3y from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):
