Which step cannot be performed first when solving the equation 5 - 2(x - 7) = x + 1 + 3x
Distributing -2 to (x - 7)
Combining x and 3x
5 - 2
Solve:
5y + 34 = -2(-7y+1)
y = -4
y = 9
y = 4
y = 36/19
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 error?
Adding 2x to 3x
Subtracting 5 from both sides
Adding 2x to -2x
Dividing by 5 on both sides
Solve: 5x + 15 = 10x - 40
x = 10
x = -10
x = 11
x = -11
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
