Describe what was done in each solving step!

• Combine Like Terms

• Step 2

• Subtract 4x from both sides

• Step 1

• Distribute

• Step 3

Solve the equation for the variable

Solve the equation for the variable

Solve for f:
f - 4 = 6f + 26

• f = -5

• f = 5

• f = 6

• f = -6

14p - 8 = 22 + 20p

• -5

• 5

• 30

• -30

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the constant
