Multi Step Equations with Variable on One Side

Solve the equation: 
4 - 2(x - 3) = 24

• - 7

• 7

• 14

• - 14

2x + 3(5x - 7) = 47

• x = 1

• x = 2

• x = 3

• x = 4

Solve: 5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• 6

• -6

• -18/13

• 10/3

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5
