Irene is solving the equation 2x − 4(2x + 3) = 3(−x + 2) − 3 .

In her first step, she rewrites the equation as 2x − 8x − 12 = −3x − 6 − 3 . 

What error did Irene make, if any?

• Irene did not multiply/divide both sides correctly.

•  Irene did not add/subtract from both sides correctly.

•  Irene did not distribute correctly. 

  
  

• Irene did not make an error.

Using the appropriate property of equality, which one of the following is a valid next step for solving the equation 7x + 20 = 4 − x ? 

• 7x + 24 = −x 

  
  

• 8x + 20 = 4

• 7x = 24 − x

• 20 = 4 + 6x

Samuel needs to solve the equation 4(x - 2) + 2 = 4x - 8.  

Which equations represent a first step Samuel could use to solve the original equation?

Select all that apply. 

• Samuel distributes 4 on the left side of the equation to get 4x - 8 + 2 = 4x - 8.
  

• Samuel distributes 2 on the left side of the equation to get 4(2x - 4) = 4x -- 8.

• Samuel divides both sides of the equation by 4 to get x - 2 + 2 = x - 2. 

• Samuel subtracts 2 from both sides of the equation to get 4(x - 2) = 4x - 10.

• Samuel subtracts 4 from both sides of the equation to get x - 2 + 2 = 4x - 12.

Which equation is equivalent to 

7(b − 4) = 5(b + 4) + 6? 

• 
  7b − 4 = 5b + 10

• 7b − 4 = 5b + 24

• 7b − 28 = 5b + 26

• 7b− 28 = 5b + 50

Steven needs to solve the equation 6x + 10 = 2(x - 5).

Which equations represent a first step Steven could use to solve the original equation?

Select all that apply. 

• Steven subtracts 2 from both sides of the equation to get 6x + 8 = x - 5. 

• Steven subtracts 10 from both sides of the equation to get 6x = 2(x - 15). 

• Steven distributes 2 on the right side of the equation to get 6x + 10 = 2x - 10.

• Steven divides both sides of the equation by 10 to get 6x + 1 = 5(x - 5). 

• Steven divides both sides of the equation by 2 to get 3x + 5 = x - 5.
