x - 62 = 123

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

• Add 62 to each side.

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

What operation is represented by 5x?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

The variable, k, is being divided by 11. How should you isolate the variable?

 $16=\frac{k}{11}$  

• Divide both sides by 11

• Multiply both sides by 11.

• Add 11 to both sides.

• Subtract 11 to both sides.

What is the first step to solve this equation:

-3x + 11 = 44

• Multiply by -3 on both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide -3 on both sides.
