Assignment: Problem Set: Combining Like Terms
Solve the equations by combining like terms. Show all the steps.
Then write two of your own problems where you combine like terms. Show all steps, as well as your solution.

*Combine like terms by adding x to 2x
*Combine like terms by adding 8 to both sides
*Divide 5 to both sides
2 (2x - 4) + x = 7
4x - 8 + x = 7
(4x + x)- 8 = 7
5x - 8 = 7
+ 8 +8
5x = 15
5x / 5 = 15/5
x = 3
5. 8 = 3(3x + 8) − x
