Solve Equation with Parentheses

8x - 4(x + 8) = 8

• x = 2

• x = 10

• x = 4

• x = -4

Choose all of the following options that are possible first steps when solving

2(10 + 12x) = 3 + 9x

• Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

• Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses to 12x

• Subtract 9x from the right side only

• Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses to 10

• Divide by 2 on both sides

Simplify and tell whether the equation has one, zero or infinite solutions.

2(3x - 6) = -12 + 6x

• x = 4; One Solution

• x = -x; No Solution

• 0 = 0; Infinite Solutions

• x = 0; One Solution

3(2x+5)=39

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 3

• x = -2

6(3x-5) -7x=25

• x= 5

• x= 6

• x= -5

• x= -6

Solve.
(2x - 3) / 4  = 9

• x = 24

• x = 12

• x = 17.5

• x = 19.5

8(7-y) = -24

• y= 2

• y= 10

• y= 15

• y= -5
