Multistep Equations and Expressions

Use the distributive property to simplify: 5(2x + 3).

• 10x + 15

• 7x + 3

• 10x + 8

• 7x + 15

Simplify the expression by combining like terms: x - 2x + 5 - 3 + 4x.

• 3x + 2

• 2x + 2

• 3x - 2

• 2x - 2

Solve for b:
-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• b = 1

• b = -1

• b = 3

• b = -3

Is there a mistake on the equation solved? If so where was the mistake made?

• This equation is solved correctly.

• The mistake was made on the second step of combining like terms on the right side.

• The mistake was made on the third step of moving the variable to the left side.

• The mistake was made on the fourth step of moving the constant to the right side.

• The mistake was made on the first step doing the distributive property.

Solve for v.

• 60

• -3

• 15

• 3

What is the first step to solve this equation:

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

What operation would you perform first and then second when solving for m in the following equation?

10 + 7m = 17

• subtract 10, divide by 7

• divide by 7, subtract 10

• multiply by 7, add 10

• add 10, multiply by 7

Solve:
8w - 8 = -4w + 16

• 8

• 16

• 24

• 2

6(6v +6) - 5 = 1 + 6v
