• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8

• 2

• 10

• 4

• -4 

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

3x + 2(4x - 4) = 3

• 4

After moving the constant to one side in the following equation, what would be the result: 70x + 48 = -22

• 70x = 70

• 70x = -70

• 70x + 70 = 0

Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20

• x = -20

• x = -5

• x = 5
