Equations with Variables on Both Sides Quiz

Solve the equation: 3x - 5 = 2x + 7

• x = 5

• x = 10

• x = -4

• x = 12

What is the first step in solving an equation with variables on both sides?

• Multiply each side by a random number

• Simplify each side of the equation by combining like terms

• Ignore the variables and solve for the constant

• Add a different number to each side of the equation

Simplify the expression: 2(3x - 4) - 5 = 3x + 7

• x = 2

• x = 0

• x = -3

• x = 5
