Solving Two-Step Equations with Parentheses

Samuel bought 3 tires for $79.95 each and some rims for $59 each. He spent a total of $534.85. Which equation could be used to find the number of rims, r, Samuel bought?

• 3(79.95) - 59r = 534.85

• 79.95r - 59(3) = 534.85

• 3(79.95) + 59r = 534.85

• 79.95r + 59(3) = 534.85

7(9 + K)= 84
k =____________

• 3

• -3

• 5

Solve: 9 = 2(5x - 3)

• x = 5

10(h + 1) - 4 = 76

• h = 10

• h = 4

• h = 7

• h = 76

-(n - 8) = -2

• n = 6

• n = 10

• n = -10

• n = -6

7(4x + 3) + 5 = -58

• x = -5

• x = -3

• x = 2

• x = 4

3x + 2(4x - 4) = 3

• x = 4

• x = 3

• x = 2

• x = 1

8x - 4(x + 8) = 8

• x = 2

• x = 10

• x = 4

• x = -4
