3 ( a + 22 ) = 12a + 30

• a = 8

• a = 2

• a = 4

• a = -2

4(2a + 3) = −3(a − 1) + 31

• a = 4

• a = -2

• a = -4

• a = 2

-15 = 5a +12- 2a + 6

• -11
• -3
• 10

What is the first step in solving the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• Add 4 to both sides
• Add the 2a and a 
• Distribute 4 to a and -5
• Distribute -4 to a and -5
