a. taking the square root of both sides of the equation
b. subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation
c. squaring both sides of the equation
d. adding 8 to both sides of the equation

b. The first step in the equation solving is subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given quadratic equation is :

Let us try and solve this given equation.

So, x  = ± 5i

Hence, as we can see here, the first step in the equation solving is subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation.

both equations and proportions are better.
