Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Go to Example 1 Record the following steps in your notebook. We will refer to these steps throughout the lesson. Go to Example 2 Pull Distribute, if necessary. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Go to Example 3 Practice Pull Combine like terms on the same side, if necessary. Video: Real World Problem HOMEWORK Pull Move your variables to the same side using opposite operations. Pull Move your constants to the same side using opposite operations. Pull Solve for your variable.
6x + 3 + 2x = 5x + 12 8x + 3 = 5x + 12 3(2x + 1) + 2x = 5x + 12 Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Watch me on this first one? Example #1: 3(2x + 1) + 2x = 5x + 12 6x + 3 + 2x = 5x + 12 8x + 3 = 5x + 12 8x - 5x + 3 = 5x - 5x + 12 3x + 3 = 12 3x + 3 - 3 = 12 - 3 3x = 9 x = 3 3(2x + 1) + 2x = 5x + 12 pull Erase the box to reveal the steps.

Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Let's Do this Together Example #2: 19x+8-8x = 4(5x+2)+36 19x+8-8x = 4(5x+2) + 36 Answer hidden here! Bring the magnifying glass over. Press for example 3 Back to steps. x = -4
Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Try this one by yourself. Example #3: 4(2p-8)-6p = 20+4(p+6) Work this problem in the blue box. Move the problem to the gray box to reveal the solution. 4(2p-8)-6p = 20+4(p+6) 8p-32-6p = 20+4p+24 2p - 32= 4p+ 44 2p-4p-32 = 4p-4p+44 -2p-32 = 44 -2p-32+32=44+32 -2p=76 (divide) p = -38 Did You Get It Right? yes no Back to steps.
