• 2

• 6

• 7

• 8

Solve: 3(x-4) = -3

• 3
• -3
• 5
• -5

Solve for d:
-7(6 + d) = 49

7x = 3x + 24

• 6
• 10
• 14
• 4

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

• x = 7
• x = -7
• x = 2/7
• x = 11

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.

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5
• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5
• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5
• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5

What operation would you perform first and then second when solving for m in the following equation?

10 + 7m = 17

• subtract 10, divide by 7

• divide by 7, subtract 10

• multiply by 7, add 10

• add 10, multiply by 7

Solve for x:

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• x = 12

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 15

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

• b = 1
• b = -1
• b = 3
• b = -3
