What is the first step in solving the equation?

5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• add 5x + 8x

• subtract 8x on both sides

• subtract 14 on both sides

• add 5x on both sides

10x + 9 = 4x - 9

• 0

• 3

• -3

• -18

Solve: 2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

• 5/3

• 3

• 1

• 2

30 + 6t = 11t

• 3

• 5

• 6

• 30

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

14p - 8 = 22 + 20p

• -5

• 5

• 30

• -30

The goal of solving any equation is to:

• Find the constant

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Guess a value that works

7x = 3x + 24

Solve for a:

9+2a = -3-4a

• a=5

• a= -1

• a= -2

• a=2

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

• 4

• 3
