Solving linear equations

What is the first step for this equation?

4(7-5x)=108

• Distribute the 4 by multiplying it by everything inside the parenthesis (7-5x)

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• subtract 7-5

• combine like terms

What is the second step in an equation when there are variables on both sides?

• Use inverse operations to combine like terms on the other side of the equat sign

• distribute

• isolate the variable and solve

Solve for x:

4x-8=2x+4

• x=1

• x=0

• x=6

• x=100

What is the last step in the equation when there is a variable on both sides of the equal sign?

• Isolate the variable and solve

• distribute

• balance by using inverse operations to combine like terms
