Practice Variables on Both Sides- Honors

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

• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

• Find the coefficient

Which statement best describes the first step to the equation?

-11- 3x = 44 - 2x

• Add 3 to both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Get the variables on one side

• Add 2 to both sides

10x + 9 = 4x - 9

• x = 0

• x = 3

• x = -3

• x = -18

8x - 8 = -4x + 16

• x = 8

• x = 16

• x = 24

• x = 2

7w + 5 = 3w - 15

• w = 5

• w = -2

• w = 2

• w = -5

Solve the equation
12x - 15 = 3(2x+3)

• x = 4
• x = -4
• x = 2
• x = -2

Simplify the expression:
8(5 + w)

• 40 + w
• 40+8w
• 85 + 8w
• 13+8w

Simplify the following expression:
-8x + 4x

• -12x
• -4x
• 4x
• 12x

In order to solve an equation, we must get variables on side of an equation, and constants on the opposite side.

• True

• False

6x + 10 = 2(3x + 4)

• x = 0

• x = 2

• No solutions

• Infinite solutions
