Basic Multistep Equation

Solve for x:
4 - 2(x - 3) = 24

• - 7

• 7

• 14

• - 14

4 + k/2 = -3

• 14

• -14

• 4

• -2

What is the first step in solving this equation?

• subtract 3 to both sides

• subtract the 6 - 2

• distribute 2

• distribute -2

2m + 6m = 32

• m = 8

• m = 4

• m = -4

• m = -8

What is the first step in the equation:

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• Combine Like Terms

• Add 3 on both sides

• Divide by 2 on both sides

• Subtract 4x from both sides

After questions 4-6, what is the answer to:

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

What will the equation look like after you distribute?

• -6x - 8 = 10

• -6x + 8 = 10

• -5x - 6 = 10

• -5x + 6 = 10

What will the equation look like after you combine like terms?

• -5x + 5 = 35

• x + 5 = 35

• 5x + 5 = 35

• -x + 5 = 35

3(x + 5) – 6x = -18
