Solving Linear Equations by Combining Like Terms

5x - 4 + 2x = 3

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• 1

• -1

• 3

• -3

Which of the following is a linear equation?

• 3x + 2y = 10

• x^2 + y^2 = 25

• 2x - 3 = 0

• y = 3x + 5

Solve for x:

102=3(7x-1)

• x=0

• x=2

• x=5

Solve for p:

84=-4(6-3p)

• p=4

• p=0

• p=8

• p=9

Whats the last step after combining like terms?

• Isolate the variable and solve

• distribute

• combine like terms

• balance both sides

Whats the first step when there are variables on both sides of the equal sign?

• Use inverse operations to combine like terms on one side of the equation

• distribute

• Use inverse operations to get EVERY term on one side of the equation

2x+2=x+2

• x=0

• x=2

• x=1

• x=3

What is the second step in an equation when there are variables on both sides?

• Use inverse operations to combine like terms on the other side of the equat sign

• distribute

• isolate the variable and solve

Solve for x:

4x-8=2x+4

• x=1

• x=0

• x=6

• x=100
