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.

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

Level 3

Solve for a

• a= -2

• a= -6

• a= 3

• a= 15

Level 3

Solve for x

• x = 2

• x = -2

Level 3

Identify the steps to solve for b

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5

x - 62 = 123

How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side.

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

Solve for y.

-15 = -4y + 5

• y = -5

• y = 5

• y = -24

• y = -16

• y = 80

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3
• c = 6
• c = 7
• c = 18
