Two-Step Equations

100

What is the first step when trying to solve this for x?

3x+14=35

subtract 14 from both sides

200

Solve:

3x - 4 = 8

x = 4

300

Solve:

-4y + 10 = 26 

y = -4 

400

What is the second step when solving for x?

x/6-7=13

multiply 6 to both sides

500

Solve:

-14x-27=29

x=-4

Multistep Equations

100

Which terms in this expression could be combined with 3x?

2x + 9y -10 + x - 8c

2x and x 

200

What would you do first to solve this?

3(3x + 4) - 9 = 27

Distribute 

300

Solve for x. 

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

x=5

400

Solve: 

3x + 9x - 4x + 9 = 33 

x= 3

500
