Solving Linear Equations

Algebraic equations illustration

📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice

1. What is the value of x in the equation 3x + 7 = 22?

x = 3

x = 5

x = 7

x = 15

2. Which equation has the solution x = -2?

2x + 6 = 2

5x - 3 = 7

4x + 1 = 9

x + 8 = 10

3. What is the first step to solve 4x - 9 = 15?

Divide both sides by 4

Add 9 to both sides

Subtract 15 from both sides

Multiply both sides by 4

4. If 2(x + 3) = 14, what is the value of x?

x = 4

x = 5

x = 6

x = 7
