Back

x = -11

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation: 5b - 6 = 24?

Back

Add 6 to both sides.

Front

Solve for b: 5b - 6 = 24

Back

b = 6

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 20 = 2 - a?

Back

Add a to both sides and subtract 20 from both sides.

Front

Solve for a: 20 = 2 - a

Back

a = -18

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: -2y = 20?

Back
