Solve Equations with Variables on Both Sides and Distributive Property

What is the first step you should take to solve this equation:

• Add 2 to both sides

• Use distributive property to get rid of the parentheses

• Isolate the variable on one side

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Use distributive property to get rid of parentheses

• Combine like terms

• Move the variable to one side of the equation

• Use inverse operations to isolate and solve for the variable.

Solve the equation.

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

• x= 5

• x= 6

• x= -5

• x= -6

Solve the equation.

22 - 5 (6v-1) = -63

• v= -5

• v= -2

• v= 8

• v= 3

Solve for x:

7(2x - 4) = 42

Enter JUST the number!

2 (x - 3) = 1/2 (4x - 12)

Solve the equation.

-11 + 3(b + 5) = 7

• b = 1

• b = -1

• b = 3

• b = -3

Simplify 7(x - 1) = 23 + 10x

• -3

• -5

• -7

• -10
