What is the first step in solving equations with variables on both sides?

• Combine like terms

• Distribute

• Move variables to the left

• Move constants to the right

Which of the following pairs are like terms?

• 2x and 2a

• 4a and 4b

• 3x and 3y

• 2x and 3x

What should you do after combining like terms?

• Add constants

• Move constants to the left

• Distribute

• Move variables to the left

What should you do if there are no parentheses in the equation?

• Move constants to the right

• Distribute

• Combine like terms

• Move variables to the left

What is the purpose of drawing a line from the equal sign?

• To move variables to the left

• To distribute

• To combine like terms

• To separate variables and constants

What is the result of combining 2x and x?

• 2x

• x

• 3x

• 4x

How do you eliminate 2x from the right side of the equation?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add 2x to both sides

• Subtract 2x from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

What is the next step after moving variables to the left?

• Add variables

• Combine like terms

• Distribute

• Move constants to the right

What do you get when you add 3 to both sides of the equation x - 3 = 9?

• x = 6

• x = 12

• x = 3

• x = 9

What is the final value of x in the equation solved in the video?

• x = 6

• x = 12

• x = 3

• x = 9
