Solving Equations and Combining Like Terms

This video tutorial from Shieff Math teaches how to solve equations with like terms. It covers combining like terms to isolate variables such as X, M, and Y, and provides examples of solving two-step equations. The tutorial also addresses simplifying complex equations and concludes with a summary and encouragement to review the material.

What is the first step in solving equations with like terms?

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient

• Subtract the constant term

• Combine like terms

• Divide both sides by the coefficient

In the equation 7x - 3x = 20, what is the value of x?

• 5

• 6

• 2

• 4

What operation is performed after combining like terms in the equation 7x - 3x = 20?

• Subtract 20 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Divide both sides by 4

• Add 3 to both sides

In the equation -3M + 8M = 28, what is the value of M?

• 4

• 6

• 7

• 5

What is the result of combining the terms -3M and 8M?

• 11M

• 5M

• 6M

• 2M

In the equation 10y + 4 = 54, what is the value of y?

• 7

• 6

• 5

• 4

What is the first step after combining like terms in the equation 10y + 4 = 54?

• Multiply both sides by 10

• Add 4 to both sides

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 10

In the equation 2G = -14, what is the value of G?

• -14

• 7

• 14

• -7

What is the result of simplifying the expression -3 + 7 - 12 + 10?

• 2

• 4

• -4

• -2

What operation is performed after simplifying the expression in the equation 2G = -14?

• Subtract 14 from both sides

• Add 14 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2
