Add and Subtract Linear Equations

(3x - 5) + (2x -8)

• 5x - 13

• 5x + 13

• 2x + 6x

• 5x - 12

Solve for x:
2x + 5 = 12

• 7

• 3

• 3.5

• 8.5

Solve for x: 
4x + 1 = 7x - 5

• -1

• 2

• 6/11

• 8

Solve for x:
2(3x + 4) + 2 = 4 + 3x

• 2

• -2/3

• 10

• -2

x - 62 = 123
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side. 

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

Solve for x:
3(5x + 10) + 10 = 6x - (x + 10)

• 3

• -3

• -5

• 5

What is the first step to solve this equation:
11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

Find the error in the problem below
19 - 2k = 3k - 1
     +3k   +3k
19 + 1k = -1
-19           -19
k = -20

• They should have divided by 1 for the last step

• They should add 19 instead of subtracting 19

• I can not find an error

• Instead of adding 3k they should subtract 3k

Austin solved the equation as shown below. Which correctly describes the error that Austin made in his work?

• Austin did not combine 7x and 8x correctly.

• Austin did not combine -3 and -9 correctly.

• Austin did not divide correctly.

• Austin did not make an error in his work.

Which is the correct first step in solving the equation shown?

• Subtract 33 from both sides

• Add 33 from both sides

• Add 3.5 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by -3.5
