Review: Solve Multi-step Equations

Front

What is a slope in mathematics?

Back

The slope is a number that describes the steepness and direction of a line on a graph. It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

Front

What does it mean to distribute in an equation?

Back

Distributing means to multiply a term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. They can be combined by adding or subtracting their coefficients.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 11 - 3x = 44?

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, you perform operations to get the variable on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: -11 + 3(b + 5) = 7?

Back

b = 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What does it mean to combine like terms?

Back

Combining like terms means to add or subtract terms that have the same variable and exponent.

Front

What is the result of the equation: 7(x + 2) + 3 = 73 after distributing?

Back

7x + 14 + 3 = 73.

Front

What is the final step to solve the equation: 7x + 17 = 73?

Back

Subtract 17 from both sides and then divide by 7.
