Definition: Multi-Step Equation

Back

An equation that requires more than one step to solve, often involving combining like terms and isolating the variable.

Front

Principle: Isolating the Variable

Back

To solve an equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Front

Concept: Like Terms

Back

Terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, which can be combined.

Front

Example: Combining Like Terms

Back

In the equation 2x + 3x = 5x, 2x and 3x are like terms.

Front

Definition: Coefficient

Back

A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression, e.g., in 4x, 4 is the coefficient.
