Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
x + \frac{x}
{6} = \frac{x}
{15} + 1
\]
Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
\frac{x + 5}
{9} -\frac{x}
{6} = \frac{x - 2}
{9} + \frac{x - 3}
{9}
\]
Let \([x;y]\)
be the solution of the system
\[\begin{aligned}
2x - y & = -1, & &
\\4x - y & = 1. & &
\end{aligned}\]
In the following list identify a true statement.
