extended practice: multi - step equations (beginner)
directions: solve each equation for x

1. $3x + 4 = 13$
2. $2x - 5 = 9$
3. $4x + 3 = 15$
4. $-5x + 1 = 23$
5. $\frac{x}{3}+7 = 12$
6. $-2x + 6 = -8$
7. $3x - 4 = 2x + 5$
8. $5x + 7 = 4x + 9$
9. $-4x + 10 = -2x - 4$
10. $2(x + 3) = 12$
11. $4(x - 2) = 16$
12. $x/4 - 3 = 16$
13. $-3x + 9 = 6x - 18$
14. $5x + 2 = 7x - 6$
15. $6x - 5 = 4x + 7$
16. $3(x - 4) = -9$
17. $-2(x + 3) = 10$
18. $0 - 3x = 2x + 3$
19. $7x + 10 = 3x + 22$
20. $\frac{2x}{3}-1 = 5$
21. $4x - 7 = 3x + 2$
22. $-5(x - 1) = -15$
23. $10 - 2x = 6x - 14$
24. $-3(x + 2) = 3x - 12$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate term with $x$

$3x = 13 - 4$
$3x = 9$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{9}{3}$

Step1: Isolate term with $x$

$2x = 9 + 3$
$2x = 12$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{12}{2}$

Step1: Isolate term with $x$

$4x = 15 - 3$
$4x = 12$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{12}{4}$

Step1: Isolate term with $x$

$-5x = 23 - 8$
$-5x = 15$

Step2: Solve for $x$

$x = \frac{15}{-5}$

Answer:

$x=3$
