Two Step Equations and Combining Like Terms

2m + 6m = 32

• m = 8

• m = 4

• m = -4

• m = -8

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

What is the first step to solve this equation?
3x + 6 = 10 + 3x + 4x

• Add 4x to both sides of the equation

• Combine like terms 3x and 4x on the same side of the equation

• Add 3x and 6 to get 9x

• Add 6 and 10 to get 16

What is the firs step in solving for the variable?

• Distributive property

• Combine Like Terms

• Move the variables to the same side

• Solve for the variable

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n
