Combining Like Terms to Solve Equations   Combining Like Terms to Solve Equations   Combine like terms first.     Subtract 6 from both sides.   Divide both sides by 2. 2 2 m = 4

Using the Distributive Property to Solve Equations If your equation has parentheses you will need to distribute . After you distribute you combine like terms if needed and then isolate the variable.   On the left side of the equation, distribute the 4 and then combine the -8 and 7.     Add 1 to both sides.   Divide both sides by 4. 4 4
