2. Is this a “ positive 5 ” or “ plus 5 ”? 5 – 2x = 14 BOTH +

3. http://www.mathslideshows.com HINT: If you don’t see a negative or positive sign in front of a number it is always positive. 5 +

4. http://www.mathslideshows.com Is this a “ negative 7x ” or “ minus 7x ”? 2 – 7x = 10 BOTH

5. http://www.mathslideshows.com HINT: The sign in front of the number BELONGS TO THE NUMBER ! –7

6. http://www.mathslideshows.com I will show you 2 ways to solve this equation! Which one do you think is easier? WHY? Same answer!

7. http://www.mathslideshows.com It is easier if you move the smaller number of x’s to one side. If you move the larger number of x’s you will end up with negative x’s

18. http://www.mathslideshows.com #19 1) Get rid of the parenthesis by distributing 2) Combine like terms 3) Move the smaller number of x’s to one side 4) Move all numbers to the other side 5) Get x all by itself 6) Check your answer in the original equation Circle answer. Show work in the check!

19. http://www.mathslideshows.com 5(m - 6) = 10 5m - 30 = 10 + 30 +30 5m = 40 5 5 m = 8 Get rid of parenthesis first by distributing. #20 Check in the original equation! 5(8 - 6) = 10 Do PEMDAS in the check! 5(2) = 10 10 = 10

20. http://www.mathslideshows.com 8x - 4 = 3(2x + 8) Get rid of the parenthesis. 8x - 4 = 6x+ 24 Get the variables on one side. Subtract 6x from both sides. -6x 6x and –6x cancel out 2x - 4 = 24 Add 4 to both sides. + 4 + 4 x = 14 Divide both sides by 2. 2x = 28__ __ 2 2 #21 Show your check! 8(14) - 4 = 3(2 14+8) 112 - 4 = 3(36) 108 = 108 Finish your check!
