Solving Linear Equations

Solve the equation:

-5(x + 3) = 2(x - 5)

Solve the equation below:

• k = 152

• k = 176

• k = 5

• k = 27

Which equation has x = 5 as the solution?

• x + 15 = 10

• 2x = 5

• 2x = 10

• 2x - 3 = 15

• - 4x + 1 = 21

• x = 120

• x = 5

• x = 30

• x = - 5

3x - 5 = - 26

• x = - 21

• x = 21

• x = - 7

• x = 61

Solve: 3(x-4) = -3

• 3
• -3
• 5
• -5

Solve: - 7(z - 6) = - 80

Janet wants to rent a U-Haul to move her mother. She spends $225 for the move. The U-Haul costs $45 up front and $1.50 a mile. What equation would you use to solve the number of miles her mother moved?

• 225 = 45x + 1.5

• 45 + 1.5x = 225

• 45x + 1.5x = 225

• 225 = 45(1.5) + 1.5x

Solve the equation
-8x - 8 + 3(x - 2) = -3x + 2

• x = -8
• x = 8
• x = 2
• x = -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.
