What is the first step to solve this equation?
3n - 4 = -2 + 2n 

• Add 2n to both sides of the equation

• Add 3n to both sides of the equation

• Subtract 2n from both sides of the equation

• Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

• m=3

• m=-4

• m=-1

• All real numbers

• x=3

• x=2

• x=-2

• x=1

–6x + 1 = 45

• –6x + 1 = 45

• –3(3x) = 45

• –6x – 3 = 45

• –6x = 44
