Worksheet Worksheet 3

1.
Solve the equation \(-9x + 3 = 66\) using a complete presentation.
2.
Solve the equation \(3x + 9 = -9\) using a complete presentation.
3.
Solve the equation \(-8x + 17 = -4x + 41\) using a complete presentation.
4.
Check the presentation for errors. If you find one, circle it and describe the mistake in words.
\begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} -9x + 16 \amp = 7x - 8 \\ -9x \amp = 7x - 24 \amp \eqnspacer \amp \text{Subtract $16$ from both sides} \\ -2x \amp = -24 \amp \amp \text{Subtract $7x$ from both sides} \\ x \amp = 12 \amp \amp \text{Divide both sides by $-2$} \end{aligned} \end{equation*}
