How would you combine like terms on the following and what would the new expression look like? Hint: you will be selecting two answers.

• add 3z with 7z

• subtract 3z and 7z

Solve     -20 = -4x - 6x

• x = -2

• x = 10

• x = 2

• x = -10

2m + 6m = 32

• m = 8

• m = 4

• m = -4

• m = -8

What is the first step to solve the following equation?

12x + 4x = 64

• Combine Like Terms

• Subtract 64 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 12

• Subtract 16 from both sides
