3 + (¹∕₄)a = 31

• a= 28
• a= 112
• a= 7
• a= 67

What would be the first step to solving the following equation?

• Divide both sides by 11

• Multiply both sides by 11.

• Add 11 to both sides.

• Subtract 11 to both sides.

What is the first step in solving this equation:
5x + 7 = 12

• Divide by 5
