4(2x - 5) = -9(3x - 2)
38/35
2(3-h) = -5h
h = -2
What is the next step?
-9(-4 - 3x) = 6(2x - 7)
36 + 27x = 12x - 42
What is the first step?
8(3x - 5) = -3(-4x + 9)
24x - 40 = 12x - 27
-3(5x - 9) = -4(2x + 3)
x = -39/7
7(2g - 4) = 20g - 16
-2
-2(4 + 3y) = -2(4 + y)
y = 0
What does the equation look like when you get rid of the variables on the right side?
36 + 27x = 12x - 42
36 + 15x = -42
subtract 12x from each side
What is the next step?
24x - 40 = 12x - 27
12x - 40 = -27
-3(10x + 4) = 6(-4x +8)
x = -10
3 + v = 2(2v - 1)
v = 5/3
-6(1 - m) = 9 - 2m
m = 15/8
What is the next step?
36 + 15x = -42
15x = -78
subtract 36 from each side
What is the next step?
12x - 40 = -27
12x = 13
-0.5(-12 - 6x) = 2.5(4x + 8)
x = -2
-2t - 3 = -2(2t + 1)
t = 1/2
What does x equal?
15x = -78
x = -78/15 or 26/5 or 5 1/5
What is the next step?
12x = 13
x = 13/12 or 1 1/12
x = -13
