Multi-Step Day 2

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• x = 12

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 15

-8(-8x - 6) = -6x - 22

• x = 2/5

• x = -1

• x = 8/7

• x = 2

-11 - 5a = 2(a + 12)

• a = -3

• a = -2

• a = -4

• a = -5

What is the first step in solving the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• Add 4 to both sides
• Add the 2a and a 
• Distribute 4 to a and -5
• Distribute -4 to a and -5

What is the first step to solve this equation:

11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

22 + 2a = 37 + 6 + a

• a = 21

• a = -21

• a = 5

• a = 6

Solve the equation:

3(2x - 4) = 2x + 12

• x = 12

• no solution

• x = 10

• x = 6

5(x -3) = 27 - 2x

• x = 3

• x = 42/15

• x = 30/7

• x = 6
