2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

Solve the equation.

• x = 0.6

• x = 2.3

• x = 4

• x = -1

What is the first step in solving this equation?

• subtract 3 to both sides

• subtract the 6 - 2

• distribute 2

• distribute -2

What is the first step in solving this equation?

• add 4 to both sides

• distribute the 4

• subtract 4 to both sides

• subtract 12 to both sides

Solve the equation.

• x = 1

• x = 5

• x = 0.27

• x = 1.36

4 = 2(x + 3)

• 1/2

• 7/2

• -1

• 5

5x - 4 + 2x = 3

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What is the first step to solve this equation:
11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.
