Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
We need to rearrange the given equation to get all by itself on one side of the equals sign.
Watch out!
Be super careful with those negative signs when you're moving terms around!
It's easy to drop one accidentally.
STEP 2
1. Isolate the term with .
2. Isolate .
STEP 3
We're starting with .
STEP 4
To get the term with on its own, let's add to both sides of the equation.
Remember, whatever we do to one side, we *must* do to the other to keep things balanced.
This gives us:
STEP 5
Now, let's subtract 6 from both sides to get the term completely isolated:
STEP 6
We're *so* close!
Now we just need to divide both sides by **3** to get completely by itself:
STEP 7
Let's flip this around so is on the left side, just because it looks nicer:
STEP 8
The result of isolating is , which matches answer choice **D**.
