Week 5 Day 1

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 x:

2x -1(3+4x) = 11

• x = -4

• x = 7/3

• x = -7

• x = -17/8

Solve for a:

-8(-4+a) + 3(2a+1) = -19

• a = 27

• a = -27

• a = 3.86

• a = 1.67

Solve:
7x - 3x - 8 = 24

• 8
• -8
• 3.2
• 4
