MFM2P: Algebra Sheet #1

	Please submit this at the end of class.  Please answer all questions on the page and show your work.  Good luck and have fun!

Example: Please remember the main part of algebra is what you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other!!
	a) 	 x + 5 = 9		(what is the opposite of 5? -5!)
	  x + 5 – 5 = 9 – 5
		     x = 4
	
	b) 3x + 1 = 10		(first bring all numbers to one
					side and the letters to the other)
	3x + 1 – 1 = 10 – 1
		   3x = 9		(divide by the number in front of
					the x)

Try some for yourself!  If you need more room, please write on the back!
a) x + 2 = 5		b) x + 5 = 1		c) x – 3 = 2		d) x + 10 = 15

e) 2x = 6		f) 6x = 18		g) 3x = -6		h) 4x = 3

i) 2x + 1 = 7		j) 3x – 2 = 7		k) 4x – 5 = 3		l) -2x – 3 = -11

m) 2x + 1 = x + 4	n) 3x – 2 = x + 2	o) 2x – 1 = -1		p) 100x = x + 99
