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

-15 + 3x - 7x = -43

x = ?

(Just type the number)

x = ?

(Just type the number)

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

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

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1
