Solve for x:

1/7x - 6 = 3/7x + 4

• 30

• -35

• 42

• -40

When you solve 4(x + 2) = 22, you must simplify the equation first. What would the first step look like?

• 4x + 8 = 22

• 4x + 2 = 22

• x + 8 = 22

• x + 2 = 22

One way to solve this equation

2/7 x + 3 = 8/7 x - 8

is to first

• multiply both sides through by 2

• multiply both sides through by 8

• multiply both sides through by 7

• add x to both sides

If you double a number and then add 12, you get 4/5 of the original number. Let x represent the original number.

Which equation represents this situation?

• 2x + 4/5 = 12

• 2x + 12 = 4/5 x

• 4/5 + 4x = 5

• 12x - 2 = 4/5 x

Carpet Cleaner A charges $28.95 plus $18 per room. Carpet Cleaner B charges $19.85 plus $32 per room. Which equation can be used to find the number of rooms for which the total cost of both carpet cleaners is the same?

• 28.95x + 18 = 19.85 + 32

• 28.95 + 32x = 19.85 + 18x

• 28.95 + 18x = 19.85 + 32x

• (28.95 + 18)x = (19.85 + 32) x
