• 2.3

• 3

• 4

What should the FIRST step be in solving the equation  $8x-2=62$ ? 

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Add 2 from both sides

• Multiply 8 to both sides

• Divide by 8 to both sides

What should the FIRST step be in solving the equation  $\frac{x}{8}+8=8$ ? 

• Subtract 8 from both sides

• Add 8 from both sides

• Multiply 8 to both sides

• Divide by 8 to both sides

What should the SECOND step be in solving the equation  $-3x+24=0$ ? 

• Subtract 24 from both sides

• Add 24 from both sides

• Multiply -3 to both sides

• Divide by -3 to both sides

Solve:  $\frac{x}{2}=4$  

•  $x=2$  

•  $x=4$  

•  $x=6$  

•  $x=8$  

What should the FIRST step be in solving the equation  $12=14-2x$ ? 

• Subtract 12 from both sides

• Subtract 14 from both sides

• Add 12 from both sides

• Add 14 from both sides

What should the SECOND step be in solving the equation  $\frac{x}{-4}+10=-12$ ? 

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Add 10 from both sides

• Multiply -4 to both sides

• Divide by -4 to both sides
