Ch 2 Lesson 4+5

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.

Solve:
3(x-4) = -3

• 3
• -3
• 5
• -5

Simplify the expression:
8(5 + w)

• 40 + w
• 40+8w
• 85 + 8w
• 13+8w

Simplify the following expression:
-8x + 4x

• -12x
• -4x
• 4x
• 12x

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the constant

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Be confused

What is the first step to solve this equation:

-11 - 3x = 44 - 2x

• Subtract 44 to both sides

• Get the variable on one side

• Add 11 to both sides

• Add 44 on both sides.

 $4\left(x+3\right)-3=7x$  

•  $x=\frac{1}{2}$  

•  $x=14$  

•  $x=8$  

•  $x=3$
