Solve for x:
5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• x = 6

• x = -6

• x = -18/3

• x = 10/3

19h - 7 = 23 + 14h

• h= -6

• h = 6

• all real numbers

• no solution

½ (2x + 6) = 3x + 13

• no solution

• x = 8

• x = -5

• x = 7

Solve the equation:
4 - 6x - 2= -2(3x-1)

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. Write an equation that represents this scenario if she spends $35 in all.

• .50x + 20 = 35

• .50x = 35

• .50 + 20x = 35 

• .50x - 20 = 35

Which equation has a solution of 24?

• -48 + 12 + x = -12

• -14 + 12 + x = -12

• -31x - 41x = -48

• -46x + 48x = 12

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.

• 55

• 60

• 15

• 35

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

What should we do first to solve for x?

• Add b

• Subtract b
