What is the first step to solve this equation:
11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

What step would be used to solve for the "variable term" first?

• add 16 to both sides

• divide both sides by 3

• multiply both sides by 3

• subtract 5 from both sides
