Translate into an expression:
two more than three lots of x 

• 3x-2
• 2>3x
• 3x + 2

• 2(3x)

Translate into an expression:
4 less than two times a number 

• 4-2x
• 4<2x
• 2x-4
• 2-4

Solve: 3x - 12 = -3

• 3
• -3
• 5
• -5

Solve for the variable. 3x=-27

• x=9
• x=-30
• x=-9
• x=-24

Solve for " x" ?
4x-6=30

• x = 9
• x = 13
• x = 36
• x = 4

6x - 3 = 27

• x= 12
• x = 4
• x = 5
• x = 15

17x - 21 = 47

• x = 1
• x = 2
• x = 3
• x = 4
