X= 16
x = - 9
X= - 48
Y=0

3. 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.
m = 4

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
