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:

7(2x - 4) = 42

• x = 5

• x = 8

• x = 2

• x = 9

Solve for k:

38 + 7k = 8(k + 4)

• k = 6

• k = 8

• k = -6

• k = 1

Solve:
2(2t - 3) = 6(t + 2)

• t=9
• t=4
• t=-9
• t=-3

- 4T = - 44

• - 11
• 11
• - 40
• 48

x/12 = - 2

• 6
• - 6
• 24
• - 24

16 = - 4(y + 3)

• 7
• - 7
• 6
• - 6

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

Solve the equation:
7x - 4 = 3 + 8x

• x = 7
• x = -7
• x = 2/7
• x = 11
