Solving Equations with Numbers on Both Sides

Solve: 5x + 15 = 10x - 40

• x = 10

• x = -10

• x = 11

• x = -11

What operation did he perform to get from Step 1 to Step 2?

• Subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation

• Subtracted 9 from both sides of the equation

• Multiplied both sides of the equation by 3

• Added -3 to both sides of the equation

Solve the equation

4x - 5x + 9 =5x - 9

• x = -3

• x = 9

• x = 3

• x = -9
