Solving multi-step problems using linear equations in one variable

What is the first step in solving this equation?

2x + 3 - 5x = 15x - 10

• parentheses

• combine like terms

• add 10

• move the 2x

g(x) = -8x + 1

g(x) = 17

Solve for x.

• -8

• -15

• -2

• 8

Solve: 36 - 5y = -2 (-7y + 1)

• y = -4
• y = 9
• y = 2

• y = 37/19

7x = 3x + 24

• x = 6
• x = 10
• x = 14
• x = 4

5(3x+2)-2=-2(1-7x)

• x=14

• x=-10

• x=-8

• no solution

Solve the equation: 2x - 3 = 4(x + 1) - 5

• 0

• 2

• -1

• 3

Solve: 5x + 34 = -2(-7x + 1)

• x = - 4

• x = 9

• x = 4

• x = 36/19

2e - 12 = 7e + 8

• -4

• 4

• 5

Solve. 3/4n - 18 = 1/4n - 4

• 28

• 7
