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

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

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

Front

Solve the equation: 2(x + 3) = 14

Back

x = 4

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms involves adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

Solve: 4x + 2 = 18

Back

x = 4

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 3x - 5 = 16?

Back

The first step is to add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: 5(x - 2) = 15

Back

x = 5

Front

What is an equation?

Back

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, typically containing one or more variables.

Front

What does it mean if an equation has infinitely many solutions?

Back

An equation has infinitely many solutions if any value of the variable satisfies the equation, often occurring when both sides of the equation are equivalent.
