Solving Equations

What is the first step to solve this equation:

- 3x -11 = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

Solve for a:

-3a + 8 = 14

• a = -2

• a = -7.5

• a = 2

• a = 6

Solve for x:

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• x = 12

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 15

Solve for b:
 3(b - 4) = -3

• b = 3
• b = -3
• b = 5
• b = -5

Solve for x:

7(2x - 4) = 42

• x = 5

• x = 8

• x = 2

• x = 9

Solve for b:
-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• b = 1
• b = -1
• b = 3
• b = -3

Solve for a:

-8(-4+a) + 3(2a+1) = -19

• a = 27

• a = -27

• a = 3.86

• a = 1.67

Solve for k:

38 + 7k = 8(k + 4)

• k = 6

• k = 8

• k = -6

• k = 1

Solve:
2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

• 1.2
• 6
• -6
• 7.5

Solve:
8x + 4y = 16    ,  for     y

• y = -2x + 4
• y = 2x - 4
• y = 2x + 4
• y = -2x - 4
