Solve Multi-Step Equations with Variable on One Side

-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• 1

• -1

• 3

• -3

Solve: 5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• 6

• -6

• -18/13

• 10/3

-(n - 8) = -2

• 6

• 10

• -10

• -6

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

-19 = -8 (-4+a) - (2a+1)

• -1

• 14

• -5

• 5

Solve

-124 = 4 (1+ 8k)

• -11

• 10

• -4

• -2

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.
