Solve Two Step Equations With Combining Like Terms

Solve by combining like terms:

2x + 4 = 3x – 6

Solve for x using combine like terms:

4x + 5x + 7 – 3x + 5 = –18

Solve the equation below:

3 (2x + 3) = 21

Solve the equation below. Distribute FIRST and then combine like terms:

3 (4 – 2x) + 4x = 2

• x = 5

• x = 1

• x = –1

• x = –5

6x + 2 - 7x

• -12

• 1

• -11

• 10

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

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

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n

-16 = -8r - 8r

• 7

• 16

• -15

• 1

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

After combining like terms in the following equation, what would be the result: 64x + 48 = -8x - 22 + 2x

• 64x + 48 = -10x -22

• 112 = -28x

• 64x + 48 = -6x - 22
