8. 2) -6x = 181) 4x = 24

9. The one step method: Ex: 2x = 4 3 The two step method: Ex: 2x = 4 3

10. Solve -3v = -129 1. v = -126 2. v = -43 3. v = 43 4. v = 126

11. Which step clears the fraction in 1. Multiply by 3 2. Multiply by 5 3. Multiply by -12 4. Multiply by -5

12. Solve 1. b = -56 2. b = -14 3. b = 14 4. b = 56
