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. It often involves 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 of the variable satisfies the equation. This occurs when both sides of the equation are equivalent after simplification.

Front

What does it mean when an equation has no solution?

Back

An equation has no solution when there is no value of the variable that can satisfy the equation. This typically happens when the equation simplifies to a false statement, such as 0 = 5.

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, combine like terms and isolate the variable.

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 each term inside a set of parentheses.
