Solving Linear Equations

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.

A toy company spends $1500 per day for factory expenses plus $8 to make each teddy bear.  They sell the teddy bears for $12 a piece.  Which equation could be used to find the number of bears t the company has to sell in one day to equal its daily cost?

• 1500 + 8t = 12

• 12 + 8t = 1500

• 1500 + 8t = 12t

• 8t = 12t + 1500

Solve:
7x - 3x - 8 = 24

• 8

• -8

• 3.2

• 4

Solve:
7x + 19 = -2x + 55

• 4

• 14.8

• 8.2

• -4

What is the first step in solving for w in the equation 3w + 5 = 14?

• Add 5 to both sides of the equal sign

• Divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

• Subtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign

• Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

Solve the following equation,

x + 4 = 25

• x = 29

• x = 100

• x = 5

• x = 21

Solve: 3(x-2)=18
