Multiple Step Equations with Variables on Both Sides

Solving equations with variables on both sides: Solve for x in the equation 3x - 5 = 2x + 7

• x = 12

• x = 5

• x = 3

• x = -2

Solving equations with variables on both sides: Solve for y in the equation 2y - 8 = 3y + 4

• y = 10

• y = 16

• y = -12

• y = -4

Isolating the variable term: Solve for x in the equation 4x + 7 = 2x + 15

• x = 9

• x = 11

• x = 6

• x = 4

Isolating the variable term: Solve for y in the equation 5y - 3 = 2y + 9

• y = 3

• y = 6

• y = 10

• y = 5

Combining like terms: Simplify the expression 3x + 2y - 5x + 4y

• 5x + 6y

• 3x - 2y

• -8x + 10y

• -2x + 6y
