Solve Multi-Step Equations

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation 3(x - 7) = 2x + 4 for x.

1.            3(x - 7) = 2x + 4 Multiply both terms inside the


parentheses by 3.
( )(x) + ( )( - 7) = 2x + 4
x- = 2x + 4 Combine like terms.
x- - = 2x + 4 - Subtract 2x from both sides.
- =4
- + =4+ Add 21 to both sides.
x=
2. The solution is x = .

3. Check. Substitute the solution into the equation for x.

  3(x - 7) = 2x + 4

3( - 7) = 2( )+4

  3( )= +4

   =

Solve 2(x + 40 + 7x) = 4x + 20 for x.

2(x + 40 + 7x) = 4x + 20
4.          Combine like terms inside
the parentheses.
  2( x + 40) = 4x + 20

2( x) + 2( ) = 4x + 20 Use the Distributive Property.

   x+ = 4x + 20

   16x + 80 - x = 4x + 20 - x Subtract 4x from both sides.

   x + 80 - = 20 - Subtract 80 from both sides.

  x = Divide both sides by 12.

           x =

5. The solution is x = .

Solve Multi-Step Equations (continued)

Solve each equation for x.

6. - 4x + 3x + 2 = 6 7. 6 - x - 3x = - 10 8. 3 + 3x + 5 + 4x = 29

9. 4x + 6 = x + 12 10. 6x - 6 = 3(x + 2) 11. 5x + 8 = x + 2x - 2

12. 3(x - 6) + 9x = 30 13. 4(2x + 3x + 8) = 72 14. - 3(3x - 5) + 4x = 30

15. 7x - 18 = 3x + 6 16. 2x + 4 = x + 3(x + 2) 17. 5x - 8 = x + 2(x - 2)

18. 2(6x - 4) + 8 = 36 19. 1

(x - 8) = 14 20. 3(1.5x - 4) = 6

21. 1(x + 8) = x + 2 22. 4.2(x - 2) = x + 2 23. 2.3(2x + 4) = 0.6x + 10

24. 5(3x + 2x + 10) 25. 12 + 4x - 2 26. 16 + 8(x + 3) - 2x


= 150 = 3(x + 6) - x = 82

27. 3(5x + 6x - 10) 28. 4 + 7(x + 4) 29. 1


2
(4x + 16 + 6x)
= 5(2x + 40) = 2(x + 4) + x = 17x + 2

30. Reasoning  What is the first step when solving the equation
8(6x - 4) + 10 = 74?
