Term
Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below. 3x - 7 = 2 |
|
Definition
| x=Correct! When you add 7 to both sides of the equation and then divide both sides of the equation by 3, you see that x = 3. You can check this answer by substituting it into the original equation. |

Term
Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below. -4x + 3 = 11 |
|
Definition
| Good work! When you subtract 3 from both sides of the equation and then divide both sides of the equation by -4, you see that x = -2. You can check this answer by substituting it into the original equation. |

Term
Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below. 5x - 2 + x = -20 |
|
Definition
| Good job! After collecting like terms and solving the resulting equation, you'll find the solution x = -3. You can check this answer by substituting it into the original equation. reminder x always = 1 |

Term
Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below. x - 3x + 4 = 3 - 9 |
|
Definition
| Well done! After collecting like terms and solving the resulting equation, you'll find the solution x = 5. You can check this answer by substituting it into the original equation. |

Term
How many solutions are there to the equation in the box? 2(x + 1) = 2x + 1 |
|
Definition
| Excellent! When you have simplified the equation as much as possible, you get an equation that does not make sense (2 = 1). This means that the original equation has no solutions. |
|
|
Term
How many solutions are there to the equation in the box? 2 - 5x = 3(2 - 3x) |
|
Definition
| Good job! When you use the distributive property, add 9x to both sides of the equation, and then solve, you see that the equation hase one solution, (x = 1). |

|
Term
How many solutions are there to the equation in the box? 3x - 2(1 + x) + 2 = x |
|
Definition
| Great! When you use the distributive property, collect like terms, and then subtract x from both sides of the equation, you get an equation that is always true (0 = 0). This means that the original equation has infinitely many solutions. |
