Solve the equation:
3(x - 1) = 2x + 9

• x = 12
• no solution
• x = 10
• x = 6

Which step cannot be performed first when solving the equation
5 - 2(x - 7) = x + 1 + 3x

• Distributing -2 to (x - 7)
• Combining x and 3x
• Subtracting 1 from both sides
• 5 - 2

Solve the equation:
½ (2x + 6) = 3x + 13

• no solution
• x = 8
• x = -5
• x = 7
