Use mental math to solve.

6x = 48

• x = 6

• x = 7

• x = 8

• x = 48

Use mental math to solve.

15 = x + 6

• x = 9
• x = 15
• x = 6
• x = 12

x - 62 = 123
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side. 
• Subtract 62 from each side.
• Multiply each side by 62.
• Add 123 to each side.

Solve for p:
11p = 121

• 11
• 12
• 110
• 456

Solve for w:
-6w + 1 = -11

• 2
• 1.2
• 12
• -2

9a - 11 = 61

• a = 9
• a = -9
• a = -8
• a = 8

Solve:
3(x - 2) = 18

• 6.7
• 4
• 8
• -4
