Solving two-step equations

Simplify the expression: 3x + 5 - 2x

• x + 5

• 4x + 5

• 2x + 5

• x - 5

What is the first step in isolating the variable in the equation 2(y + 4) = 18?

• 2(y + 4) = 22

• 2y + 4 = 18

• 2(y + 4) = 9

• 2y + 8 = 18

Solve for x: 4(x - 3) = 20

• x = 5

• x = 8

• x = 10

• x = 15

Combine like terms in the expression: 2a + 3b - 4a + 5b

• -6a + 8b

• 6a - 8b

• -2a + 2b

• -2a + 8b

What is the inverse operation for addition?

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

• 7x - 10

• 8x - 10

• 5x - 10

• 6x - 10

What is the next step after combining like terms in a two-step equation?

• Combine unlike terms

• Divide by the coefficient

• Isolate the variable

• Add the constant term

Solve for x: 5x + 8 = 33

• x = 6
