3x + -1 = -5x + 4

Move the variables (which are like terms) to one side. Add 5x to both sides. 8x + -1 = 4

100

3x + 2(5x - 7)

13x - 14

100

-3 - 4x = 21 - 8x

x = 6

100

16 − 2x = −8 + 4(x − 3)

x = 6

100

The vocabulary word that means a letter that represents a number.

What is a variable?

200

3x + 5x + 2 = 6x - 1

Add 3x + 5x and to equal 8x. 

8x + 2 = 6x - 1

200

-5 + 5(x + 4)

5x +15

200

2x + 12x - 8 = 11x + 1

x = 3

200

−6(3 − 6x) = −18 + 4x

x = 0

200

What is inverse?

300

11x +7 = -70

Isolate the variable by moving the constants to the same side. 11x = -77

300

2x - (9x - 4)

-7x + 4

300

-9x + 8 = 48 + x

X = -4

5 − (8x + 5) = −4(1 + 3x)

x = -1

300

A vocabulary word that means that a number has a fixed value.

What is a constant?

3(x - 1) = 4x

Use the distributive property:  3x - 3 = 4x

400

11 - (3x - 6) + 2(4x +5) - x

4x + 27

400

-6x + 14x - 280 = -9x - 127

x = 9

400

3(x − 6) = −5x − (7 + 3x)

x = 1
