Equations

  1. Solve the following equations using one step.
    a) x + 13 = 22 b) x - 12 = 7 c) 8x = 32
    d) x/4 = 7 e) x/5= 8 f) x2= 49 (careful!)

  2. Solve the following equations in 2 steps
    a) 3x + 7 = 22 b) 4x - 3 = 13 c) 1/2x + 6 = 15
    d) 1/4x - 3 = 4 e) 3(x - 8) = 45 f) 1/5(x + 3)
    g) 10 - x = 3

  3. These look like two step equations but don't be fooled.
    a) 6 - 2x = 2 b) 22 - 5x = 7
    c) 30 - 4x = 14 d) 35 - 7x = -7

  4. Solve these linear equations using the balance method
    a) 7x = 5x + 4 b) 5x + 3 = 7x - 3 c) 8x - 16 = 5x - 1
    d) 1/2x + 5 = x + 1 e) 3(2x - 1) = 5x + 1 f) 4x - 4 = 3x +3
