1. Variables on Both Sides with Equations
Objective – SWBAT solve equations with
variables on both sides.

2. How do you solve an equation with variables on both sides?
Step 1 – Add or subtract the variable from one side of
the equal sign to the other side of the equal
sign
Step 2 – Follow the one-step or two-step equation rules

3. Practice Problems
1. 4x = 2x + 10
-2x -2x
2x = 10
x = 5
3. 8x – 5 = 3x + 5
-3x x
5x – 5 = 5
5x = 10
x = 2
2. -4x – 18 = 5x
+4x x
-18 = 9x
x = -2
4. x + 10 = 6x - 45
-6x x
-5x + 10 = -45
-5x = -55
x = 11
