1) When there is a number or variable right next to a parenthesis without an operational sign, it is understood to be multiplication. Therefore, we have to multiply that number or variable by everything inside the parentheses. Ex: 3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 4(2x - 3) = 8x - 12 -(x + 3) = -x - 3
What would 4(x + 5) equal? 4x + 5 Check this answer on the next slide. If you got it right, move one. If not, study and reread to see why you missed it before you move on. 4x - 5 4x + 20 4x - 20 Answer to previous question: 4(x + 5) = 4x + 4•5 4x + 20 When there is a number or variable right next to a parenthesis without an operational sign, it is understood to be multiplication. Therefore, we have to multiply that number or variable by everything inside the parentheses. Ex: 3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 4(2x - 3) = 8x - 12 -(x + 3) = -x - 3

3x + 4x = 21 has variables on the same side of the equal side. They can be combined to make 7x = 21.
Where 3x = 4x + 21 variables on different sides. -4x needs to be added to both sides to clear it from the side with the number so that variables are on one side and the numbers are on the other side. 6) On 5 = 2x + 3x what needs to be done first? Check this answer on the next slide. If you got it right, move one. If not, study and reread to see why you missed it before you move on. 2x + 3x can be combined to make 5 = 5x -2x can be added to both sides to make 5 - 2x = 3x Previous answer: 2x + 3x is combined to make 5x.
We combine like variables or numbers on the same side on an equation following the signs. We move variables or numbers to the other side by adding their opposites to both sides.
