Solving Mutlistep Eqns

Solve the following equation.
4x + 3 = -5

• 1/2
• -1/2
• -2
• 2

7(2x - 4) = 42

• x= 5
• x= 8
• x= 2
• x= 9

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12
• 4
• 5
• 15

2 (n + 5) = -2 The first step in solving the following equation is ____________

• add five to both sides
• distribute 2 to all terms in the parenthesis
• add 2

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8

• 2
• 10
• 4
• -4 

-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• 1
• -1
• 3
• -3

What are the constant(s) in the following equation: 2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 2

• -3

• 27

• 4

Answer explanation

Constants are number that are not multiplied to variables

Solve:
7x - 3x - 8 = 24

• 8
• -8
• 3.2
• 4

What is the first step in solving the following equation?
3x - 5 = 20

• multiply both sides by 5
• add 5 to both sides
• divide both sides by 5
• subtract both sides by 5

Solve:
-8 + 5x - 2 = 20

• 6
• -6
• 2
• -2
