Solving for a Variable on Both Sides

Solve the equation
4x - 5x + 9 =5x - 9

• x = -3

• x = 9

• x = 3

• x = -9

14p - 8 = 22 + 20p

• -5

• 5

• 30

• -30

What is the first step to solve this equation:

-11 - 3x = 44 - 2x

• Add 3 to both sides

• Get the variable on one side

• Add 11 to both sides

• Add 2 on both sides.

2x = x + 3

• 6

• 3

• 2

• x

7x = 3x + 24

• 6

• 10

• 14

• 4

Solve:
5y+34 = -2(-7y+1)

• y = -4

• y = 9

• y = 4

• y = 36/19

• term

• coefficient

• variable

• constant

Solve

• p = -1

• p = -3

• p = 13/11

• p = 1

Solve for x:
4(1-x)+3x=-2(x+1)

• x = -6

• x = 6

• x = 3

-(8n - 2) = 3 + 10(1 - 3n)

• n = 1/2

• n = -1/2

• n = 2
