x - 62 = 123

How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Subtract 62 from each side.Multiply

• Add 62 to each side

• Add 123 to each side.

36 = -10 + 2n

What is the SECOND step in

solving the equation above?

• Divide by 2 on each side.

• Subtract 10 from each side.

• Divide by -2 on each side.

• Add 10 to each side.

Solve for the variable:

3c + 5 = 23

• 3

• 6

• 7

• 18

Solve for the variable:

-3(2c-5)=15

• -5

• 0

• 5

• 6

What is the first step to solve this equation:

-3x + 11 = 44

• Add 3 to both sides
