Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is intended to be used on both sides of the equation. \[ 3x + 2 = -5x + 1 \]
add \((5x - 2)\)
multiply by \(\frac{1} {3}\)
multiply by \(-\frac{1} {5}\)
add \((-3x + 2)\)
add \((5x + 1)\)
add \((3x - 1)\)

In the following list identify a true statement on the function \(f\). \[ f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 2)(x - 3) \]
\(f(x) < 0 \iff x\in (-\infty ,-2)\cup (-1,3)\)
\(f(x) < 0 \iff x\in \left (-\infty ,-\frac{3} {2}\right )\cup (1,3)\)
\(f(x) < 0 \iff x\in \left (-\infty ,-\frac{3} {2}\right )\cup (3,\infty )\)
\(f(x) < 0 \iff x\in \left (-\frac{3} {2},-1\right )\cup (3,\infty )\)

Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is intended to be used on both sides of the equation. \[ x + \frac{x} {6} = \frac{x} {15} + 1 \]
multiply by \(30\)
multiply by \(6\)
multiply by \(15\)
subtract \((1 + x)\)
subtract \(\left (\frac{x} {6} + \frac{x} {15}\right )\)
subtract \(\left (\frac{x} {6} + 1\right )\)
