Multistep Equations - Variables on Both Sides

Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean when an equation has infinite solutions?

Back

An equation has infinite solutions when any value for the variable satisfies the equation, indicating that the two sides of the equation are equivalent for all values of the variable.

Front

What does it mean when an equation has no solution?

Back

An equation has no solution when there is no value for the variable that can make the equation true, indicating a contradiction.

Front

How do you solve a multistep equation with variables on both sides?

Back

To solve a multistep equation with variables on both sides, first, move all variable terms to one side and constant terms to the other side, then isolate the variable.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by each term inside a parenthesis.
