8th Grade- Multi Step Equations

Let's review inverse operations

addition <--> subtraction

multiplication <--> division

Use the inverse to "move" a term to the other side of the equation!

​1) Distribute if you can

2) Combine Like Terms if you can​

3) Add or Subtract on both sides if you need to​

4) Multiply or Divide on both sides​ if you need to
