b) 3(2x – 5) = 4x – 1
Solving Linear Equations
SIMPLIFY
1. If there are fractions, multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD (Least Common
Denominator)
2. If there are any parentheses, remove them by using the distributive property
3. Combine any like terms that are on the same side of the equation
4. Sort variables to one side and numbers (constants) to the other side of the equation by
adding or subtracting terms.
5. Divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable.
6. Check your answer by substituting your solution into the original equation.
Solve the following equations:
1. 0.2x + 0.1 = 0.9x – 4.1
2. – 9(x – 2) – 28 = – 10
