Front

What is a multi-step equation?

Back

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

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

Solve for f: f - 4 = 6f + 26

Back

f = -6

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 4 = 2(x + 3)?

Back

Distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 4 = 2x + 6.

Front

Solve for x: 4 = 2(x + 3)

Back

x = -1

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to combine like terms and reduce it to its simplest form.

Front

Simplify: 5x + 3 - 2x + 1

Back

3x + 4

Front

What is the goal when solving an equation?

Back

The goal is to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Front

Solve for h: 10(h + 1) - 4 = 76

Back

h = 7

Front

What is the process to solve the equation 5x - 14 = 8x + 4?

Back

First, add 14 to both sides, then subtract 8x from both sides to isolate x.
