This number is not being multiplied by the variable.

Like terms have this in common.

When distributing a number, we use this operation.

This operation reverses the effect of another operation and helps us isolate the variable.

Classify this equation according to its solution:

3 - 8x = 5 - 7x

This number is being multiplied by the variable.

Simplify by combining like terms:

3x + 1 + x + 5 - 2x

Simplify this expression using the distributive property:

4(2m + 3)

Solve for the variable:

9n - 6 = 5n + 18

Classify this equation according to its solution:

5(y + 3) = 5y + 3

This equation has the same coefficients and the same constants on either side.

Simplify by combining like terms:

10 - 4x + 3y - 17x

Simplify this expression using the distributive property:

-(7y - 16)

Solve for the variable:

4(x + 6) - 11 = 25

Classify this equation according to its solution:

2(x + 7) = 2x + 11 - (-3)

This equation has different coefficients.

Simplify by combining like terms:

9y + 3 - 4x - 2y - 3x - 5

Distribute and combine like terms:

Solve for the variable:

-3d - 32 = -2(5 - 4d)

Classify this equation according to its solution:

-2(x - 3) - x = -3x + 5

This equation has the same coefficients but different constants on either side.

Simplify by combining like terms:

3x + 5(x + 4) - 1

Distribute and combine like terms:

3(4x + 1) -(5x +7)

Solve for the variable:

-3z - 4(4z - 8) = 3(-8z - 1)

Classify this equation according to its solution:

1/3(15 - 6p) = 4 - 2p + 1
