Distributive Property
Combine like terms (on the same side of the equation)
Use inverse operations to put variables and constants on opposite sides of the equation.
Isolate the variable

Multiple Select
If we wanted to move variables to one side, what operations could we do to accomplish this?
(2 answers)
7x-8=-5x+3
Subtract 7x from both sides
Add 8 to both sides
Subtract 3 from both sides
Add 5x to both sides
14
Multiple Choice
Once you have variables on one side, collect the constants on the other side. What operation should we use to collect the constants on the opposite side of the variable?
-5=4x-3
Add 5 to both sides
Subtract 4x from both sides
Add 3 to both sides
Subtract 3 from both sides
