Solving Equations with Distribution Lesson

Solving Equations with Distribution Lesson

By the end of the lesson, you will be able to solve multi-step equations involving distribution.

​Solving Equations with Distribution

• ​Watch the video

• ​Record the examples and information on the notes page or in your notebook.

• ​Complete the "You Try" and check your work with Mrs. Jackson.

• ​Then, continue the rest of the lesson to get at least an 80%

Multiple Choice

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

• Find the coefficient

Multiple Choice

Inverse means

• same

• opposite

• equal

Multiple Choice

How do you know when you need to distribute?

• You never have to distribute

• There is an equal sign

• There are exponents

• There are parenthesis

Multiple Choice

Simplify the expression:
8(5 + w)

• 40 + w
• 40+8w
• 85 + 8w
• 13+8w

Multiple Choice

Distribute:

2(b-3)

• -6b

• 6b

• 2b-6

• 2b-3

Step 1: Distribute wherever necessary

​

4(3x - 5) = 52

​Record the remainder of the notes in your personal math journal.

Step 2: Solve Using Inverse Operations

12x - 20 = 52

12x = 72
x = 6

-  Add 20 to both sides

- Divide both sides by 12

Step 3: Check x = 6

4 (3*6 - 5 ) = 52

4(18 - 5) = 52

4(13) = 52

52 = 52 CHECKS!
