• subtraction
• addition
• multiplication
• division

5.    6b = 30

• x = 36
• x = 24
• x = 180
• x = 5

Solve for x:

• x = 20
• x = 7
• x = 10
• x = 3

Which equation has x = 5 as the solution?

• x + 15 = 10
• 2x = 5
• 2x = 10

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.
