Solving Multi-Step Equations

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.

-15 = 5a +12- 2a + 6

• -11

• -3

• 10

• 7

Solve for f:
f - 4 = 6f + 26

• f = -5

• f = 5

• f = 6

• f = -6

7x = 3x + 24

• 6

• 10

• 14

• 4

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

• x = 6

• x = -6

• x = -18/13

• x = 10/3

Solve the equation:
7x - 4 = 3 + 8x

• x = 7

• x = -7

• x = 2/7

• x = 11

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

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5

Identify the correct next step to the equation below.

- 2 - 8(1 - 5b) = - 30

-2 - 8 + 40b = -30

• -10 + 40b = -30

• -6 + 40b = -30

• 30b = -30

• 10 + 40b = -30

What would be the best first step to solve this equation:

4x + 6 + 3 = 17?

• Distribute

• Combine Like Terms

• Solve for x

• Subtract 17 from both sides
