What would be the best first step to solving the equation?
-6x=-24

• multiply both sides by -6
• divide both sides by -6
• add 6  to both sides
• subtract -6  from both sides

Solve the equation:
x - 4 = -3

• x = -7
• x = 1
• x = 12
• x = -12

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3
• c = 6
• c = 7
• c = 18

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

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.

5x+4=64

• 2

• 12

• 10

• 15

4x+1=21

• x=120

• x=5

• x=30

• x=-5

6p - 5 =13

• 12
• 15
• 3
• -3

Simplify:  $-8\left(x-2\right)$  

•  $-8x+2$  

•  $8x+2$  

•  $-8x+16$  

•  $-8x-16$
