Solving Multistep Linear Equations pt. 1

Solving Multistep Linear Equations pt. 1

by Jamal Bogle

​How are these equations different than what we've seen so far?...

​2x - 5 + 4x = 19

​What might you need to do to solve for the value of x?

​-2x + 2 = x - 13

​When solving equations with more than one "x-term", combine then begin to solve...

​-2x + 3 + 5x = 33

​3x + 3 = 33

​1. How did I go from the first equation to the second?

​2. Are these two equations equivalent?

​2x - 5 = -x + 19

​x - 5 = 19
