Solving Multi-Step Equations

Find the solution:
10 = 4x - 2

• x = 3
• x = 2
• x = -3
• x = -2

3a + 9 + 4a = 2

• -7

• -1

• 0

• 1

-15 = 5a +12- 2a + 6

• -11

• -3

• 7

• 10

What is the first step in solving the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• Add 4 to both sides
• Add the 2a and a 
• Distribute 4 to a and -5
• Distribute -4 to a and -5

Solve the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• a = -15

• a = -5

• a = 5

• a = 15

Solve:

3(3x - 6) = 18

• x = -4

• x = 2.67

• x = 4

• x = 8
