What is the first step in solving the equation -3 ( f - 8 ) = 39 ?

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 39 from both sides

• Distribute -3 to f, -8, and 39

• Distribute -3 to f and -8

Solve for the given variable:

-124 = 4 (1+ 8k)

• -11

• 10

• -4

• -2

Which of the following is equivalent to -9(2g - 3) ?

• 18g + 27

• -18g + 27

• -18g - 27

Follow the steps and solve for x.

7(x + 2) = 70 Step 1: Distribute
7x + 14 = 70 Step 2: Subtract 14
                   7x = 56 Step 4: Divide by 7     

• x = -8

• x = 8

• x = - 12

• x = 7

4(v + 8) = 72

• 2

• 10

• 4

• -4
