Solving Muti-step Equations with Variable on Both sides

What is the first step in solving the equation 9x + 7 = 4 + 2x?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 2x from both sides

• Add 2x to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

After moving the variables to one side in the equation 3x + 7 = 4 + 5x, what is the next step?

• Add 7 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Divide both sides by 3

• Subtract 4 from both sides

In the equation 5x + 5 + 4x = 4 - 3x + 6, what do you get after simplifying both sides?

• 9x + 5 = 10 - 3x

• 5x + 9 = 4 - 3x

• 5x + 4 = 9 - 3x

• 9x + 5 = 10 - 3x

What is the value of x in the equation 11x + 2 = 7 + 5x?

• 6/5

• 5/6

• 1/2

• 2/1

In the equation 4x + 2 + 3x = 5 + 2x + 8, what is the simplified form of the left side?

• 7x + 2

• 2x + 7

• 4x + 5

• 3x + 2
