Create 2 examples of an open equation that uses the variable x and would require two or more steps to solve.

Answer 1

Example 1:
6x + 2 = 4x + 10

To solve this equation, we need to simplify both sides by combining like terms and isolating the variable x:
6x - 4x = 10 - 2
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4

Example 2:
3(x + 2) - 5 = 2(x - 3) + 1

To solve this equation, we need to distribute and simplify before isolating the variable x:
3x + 6 - 5 = 2x - 6 + 1
3x + 1 = 2x - 5
3x - 2x = -5 - 1
x = -6
