Nov 25 Geometry Core 2 Solving Multi Step Equations

Front

What is a multi-step equation?

Back

A multi-step equation is an equation that requires more than one step to solve. It often involves combining like terms, using the distributive property, and isolating the variable.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means rearranging the equation so that the variable is on one side of the equation and all other terms are on the opposite side.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Solve for C: 5(2C-1)=43+4C

Back

C = 8

Front

Solve for D: 18D+13=58+13D

Back

D = 9

Front

Solve for D: -5+9D=7D-3

Back

D = 1

Front

Solve for K: 10+12K=6K-14

Back

K = -4

Front

Solve for V: 4V-10=-34+8V

Back

V = 6

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x and 5x are like terms.

Front

What is the first step in solving a multi-step equation?

Back

The first step is often to simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms and using the distributive property.
