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

Solve for x!
16x - 8 - 9x = 27

• x = -7

• x = 7

• x = 5

• x = -5

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

Answer explanation

The first step is to combine like terms, specifically 4n and -6n, to simplify the equation. This will help in reducing the equation to a more manageable form before further operations.

After combining like terms in the following equation, what would be the result: 64x + 48 = -8x - 22 + 2x

• 64x + 48 = -10x -22

• 112 = -28x

• 64x + 48 = -6x - 22

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n
