Rearrange so that b is by itself on the left side of the equation.

ax + b = c

b = c - ax

Where is the mistake between?

Given: 2(x+1) = 3x + 2
Step 1 2x + 1 = 3x + 2
Step 2: 1 = x + 2
Step 3: -1 = x

Between Given and Step 1

Didn't distribute the 2 to the second term

Jesus and Ailin both work at Dominoes.  Jesus started this week with $10 in his bank account, and he makes $20 an hour.  Ailin started this week with $50 and gets paid $10 an hour.  If Jesus and Ailin work the same amount of hours, and had the same amount of money at the end of the week, then how many hours did they work?

10 + 20x = 50 + 10x

x = 4

Rearrange to solve for L

P = 2L + 2W

L = (P-2W)/2

Where is the mistake between?

Given: 3(x+1) = 2x + 5
Step 1 3x + 3 = 2x +5
Step 2: x + 3 = 5
Step 3: x = 8

Between Step 2 and Step 3

Should subtract 3 from both sides

Mary and Ray work at Taco Bell.  Mary has $2200 in her bank account and spends $100 every week.  Ray has $1200 and makes $150 every week.  How many weeks will it take for them to have the same amount of money?

2200 - 100w = 1200 + 150w

w = 4
