Expressions

An inverse operation is

• reversing the sign in an inequality

• using the opposite operation to solve equations

• A number’s distance from zero

Choose an expression that is equivalent to the following
6n + 2(3 - 5n)

• n + 6
• 6 - 4n
• 16n + 6

Choose the first step in solving the following equation.
-3y - 12 = 14

• add 3 from both sides
• add 12 to both sides
• subtract 12 from both sides

0.1( x - 20 ) > 2

• x > 40
• x < 40
• x > 220
