Solving Linear Equations

Solve:
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

• x = 5/3

• x = 3

• x = 1

• x = 2

Solve the equation
-8x - 8 + 3(x - 2) = -3x + 2

• x = -8

• x = 8

• x = 2

• x = -2

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.

Solve for x:

• x = 20

• x = 7

• x = 10

• x = 3

Which equation has x = 5 as the solution?

• x + 15 = 10

• 2x = 5

• 2x = 10

18+m=8

• m=0

• m=10

• m=-10

• m=8

144=12z

• z=20

• z=11

• z=12

The goal of solving a two-step equations is to:

• francine

• Find the coefficient 

• Find the value of the variable

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

3x - 5 = -26

• x=-21

• x=21

• x=-7

• x=61
