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.   4 4 Divide both sides by 4.
