Solving Equations Combining Like Terms on One Side

Solve for X. 4 + x - 17 = 22

• x = -35

• x = 35

• x = 1

• x = 9

Solve for x. 2x + 18 - 1 = 33

• x = 7

• x = 25

• x = 8

• x = 21

-20 = -4x - 6x

• x = 2

• x = -2

• x = -10

• x = 10

5n + 34 = -2 (1 - 7n)

• n = 4

• n = -4

• n = 23/34

• n = 36/19

What is the first step to solve this equation?
3x + 6 = 10 + 3x + 4x

• Add 4x to both sides of the equation

• Combine like terms 3x and 4x on the same side of the equation

• Add 3x and 6 to get 9x

• Add 6 and 10 to get 16

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

What is the first step to solve the following equation?

12x + 4x = 64

• Combine Like Terms

• Subtract 64 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 12

• Subtract 16 from both sides

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

• add 1 to both sides

1 = 6x + 2 - 7x

• -12

• 1

• -11

• 10
