Solve One Variable Linear Equations With Variables on Both Sides

What is the first step to solve this equation?
3n - 4 = -2 + 2n 

• Add 2n to both sides of the equation

• Add 3n to both sides of the equation

• Subtract 2n from both sides of the equation

• Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

What is the first step to solve this equation?
3x + 6 = 10 + 3x + 4x 

• Add 4x to both sides of the equation

• Combine like terms 3x and 4x on the same side of the equation

• Add 3x and 6 to get 9x

• Add 6 and 10 to get 16

What is the next step to solve this equation?
3x + 6 = 10 + 7x

• Add 6 to both sides of the equation

• Add 10 to both sides of the equation

• Add 7x to both sides of the equation

• Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

What is the first step in solving the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• Add 4 to both sides

• Add the 2a and a 

• Distribute 4 to a and -5

• Distribute -4 to a and -5
