Three Step Equations

Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20
• x = -20
• x = -5
• x = 5

x - 8 = -5 

• 13
• -13
• 3
• -3

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.

   -4y = 48

• x = -52
• x = -12
• x = -44
• x = -13

y/-5 = 20

• y = 100
• y = -4
• y = -100
• y = -15

x + 12 = -15

• x = 3
• x = 27
• x = -27
• x = -3

0 = 4g

• g = 4
• g = 1
• g = -4
• g = 0
