14p - 8 = 22 + 20p

• -5

• 5

• 30

6x + 5 = 10 + 5x

• x = -5

• x = 6

• x = 4

• x = 5

Solve:
7x = 3x + 24

• 6

• 10

Jacob solved the following equation using the steps shown.

Step 1 5x + 9 = 2x - 3

Step 2 3x + 9 = -3

Step 3 3x = -12

Step 4 x = -4

What operation did he perform to get from Step 1 to Step 2?

• Subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation

• Subtracted 9 from both sides of the equation

• Multiplied both sides of the equation by 3

• Added -3 to both sides of the equation

Solve for x:
4(1-x) + 3x = -2(x+1)

• x = -6

• x = 6

• x = 3

Solve:
2(4x-3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

• x = 5/3

• x = 3

• x = 1

• x = 2

Solve:
5y + 34 = -2(-7y+1)

• y = -4

• y = 9

• y = 4

• y = 36/19

Solve the equation:
-8x - 8 + 3(x-2) = -3x + 2

• x = -8

• x = 8

• x = 2

• x = -2

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

-3(x - 2) = -8 +9b

• add 8 to both sides

• subtract 9b from both sides

• Distribute -3 to the x and -2

• add 2 to both sides
