33 = 4a - 7

• a = -10

• a = 10

• a = 4.5

6 - 3a = 21

• a = 9

• a = -9

• a = -5

• a = 5

-3a + 8 = 14

• a= -2
• a= -7.5
• a= 2
• a= 6

26 = 5a + 1

• a= 5 ⁴∕₅
• a= no solution
• a= 0
• a= 5

3n + 4 = 7 

• 1

• -1

• 3.67

• 2

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.

Figure out what n equals in this equation:
6n + 4 = -26

• n = -6

• n = -5

• n = 8

• n = -4
