Math

• Review - multiplying and dividing positives and negatives - a foldable!
• Practice mult/div of pos and neg

Solve:

1. 3x = -9
2. x + 5 = -242
3. 2x - 9 = 31
4. 7x + 14 = 28

Use distribution to simplify:   (Be careful about the negatives!)

1. 4 ( x - 2)
2. -2 ( x + 5)
3. 17 (1 + x)
4. -5(2x + 4)
5. 3x (14 - 8)
6. -2 ( 17 - x)     <---- extra tricky negative action here

Simplify then Solve:

1. 3 ( x +2 ) = 21
2. -4 ( 2x + 8) = 48
3. 16 ( x - 1) = 64
