What is the first step in solving the equation below?

12 + 5w - 4w = 15

• combine like terms

• distribute

• start with the upside down T

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

• - 7

• 7

• 14

• - 14

Solve the following Solution

6x + 3x + 20 = 101

• 9

• 81

• No solution

• -81

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

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

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.

What is the firs step in solving for the variable?
