Solving Multistep Equations CLT 1

Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

A multistep equation is an equation that requires more than one step to solve, often involving operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform inverse operations to both sides of the equation until the variable is alone on one side.

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around the rectangle, calculated as P = 2(length + width).

Front

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 82 ft and one side is 28 ft, what is the length of the other side?

Back

The length of the other side is 26 ft, calculated as (82/2) - 28.

Front

What does it mean to solve for x in an equation?

Back

To solve for x means to find the value of x that makes the equation true.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation -2x - 7 + 3x = 10?

Back

Combine like terms: x - 7 = 10.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x - 7 = 10?

Back

x = 17.

Front

How do you check if your solution to an equation is correct?

Back

Substitute the solution back into the original equation to see if both sides are equal.

Front

What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle in terms of x?

Back

P = 2x + 2y, where x is the length and y is the width.

Front

What is the value of x if the perimeter of a rectangle is 42 inches and one side is 18 inches?

Back

x = 3 inches, calculated as (42/2) - 18.
