Identify the optimal first step to solve the following equation. The operation is
intended to be used on both sides of the equation.
\[
8x = \frac{x + 1}
{4} + 1
\]
multiply by \(4\)
multiply by \(\frac{1}
{8}\)
multiply by \(\frac{1}
{4}\)
multiply by \((x + 1)\),
assuming \(x\neq - 1\)
subtract \((x + 1)\)
subtract \(1\)
