How to Solve
In the equation 3x = 21, what operation is being performed on the variable 'x'?
multiplication
Identify one set of like terms in the following algebraic expression: 7x + 5 - 3x + 2.
7x & -3x or 5 & 2
x - 4 = 8
12
True or False: To solve the equation 12 + x = 20, you should subtract 12 from both sides.
true
True or False: The expression 4x + 7 - 3x can be simplified to 11x.
False
2x = 30
15
To solve the equation x - 9 = 5, what should you do to both sides of the equation?
add 9
Simplify the algebraic expression by combining like terms: 12x - 5 + 3x + 8.
15x+3
x/6 = 4
24
You found that the solution to the equation x - 3 = 11 is x = 14. What would you do to check if this solution is correct.
substitute 14 for x
