Question

Be sure to follow the steps for solving equations given in the lesson. The steps are:
1- Distribute on each side of the equation.
2- Collect like terms on each side of the equation.
3- Get all the variables on one side of the equation by doing the opposite math operation.
4- Solve for the variable.

8x - 1 = -4x + 23
x =

2. 5x + 3 = 2x + 15
x =

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

4. 6x - 8 + 2x - 5 = 7 - 2x
x =

5. 9(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)
x =

6. 5(x + 4) = 7(x - 2)
x =

7. 7(5x - 2) = 6(6x - 1)
x =

8. 3(x - 6) + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 21
x =

9. -2x - 18 = 6(1

Answer 1

8x - 1 = -4x + 23
+4x +4x
12x - 1 = 23
+1 +1
12x = 24
