<h3>1.) Combine like terms:</h3>
<em> - We do this because we need 1 Number/Variable left over. </em>
<u>Equation at the end of Step 1:</u>
- <u />
<u />
<em />
<h3>2.) Add −17 and 31:</h3><em> - We do this because we can only have 1 number on each side of the equals. (This doesn't count towards the number connected to the variable.)</em>

- <u />
<u />
<h3>3.) Subtract 14 from both sides:</h3>
Cancels Out
<em> - We do this because now we just need the 1 variable and the 1 number on opposite sides of the equal.</em>
<u>Equation at the end of Step 3:</u>
- <u />
<u />
- <em />
<em> </em>×
