Multi-step Equations

Solve for x:
5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• x = 6
• x = -6
• x = -18/13
• x = 10/3

Solve:
5y+34 = -2(-7y+1)

• y = -4
• y = 9
• y = 4
• y = 36/19

Solve the equation
-8x - 8 +3(x - 2) = -3x + 2

• x = -8
• x = 8
• x = 2
• x = -2

Solve for f:
f - 4 = 6f + 26

• f = -5
• f = 5
• f = 6
• f = -6

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

• 4
• 3
• 2
• 1

4 = 2(x + 3)

• 1/2
• 7/2
• -1
• 5

Solve: 5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• 6
• -6
• -18/13
• 10/3

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.

 What is the second step in solving the following equation?
-3x + 5 = 20

• Subtract 5 from both sides
• Divide both sides by -3
• Divide both sides by 3
• add 3x to both sides
