Solving Multi-step equations.

A multi-step 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.

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

w = 3

No solution.

It means that any value for the variable will satisfy the equation, often occurring when both sides of the equation are equivalent.

Infinitely Many Solutions

To isolate a variable, you perform inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

n = 10

Combine like terms to simplify the equation.

y = -1
