Solving Multiple step equations

Find the error in this students work

• They should have divided by 1 in the last step

• There is NO ERROR, their work is correct

• They should have added 19 to both sides for the last step, instead of subtracting 19

• They should have subtracted 3k to both sides for the first step, instead of adding 3k

• k=2

• k=-2

• k=4

• k=-4

• add 4 to both sides

• distribute 4 to x and -5

• Combine like terms by adding the 2x to the x

• distribute -4 to x and -5

The goal of solving a one, two or multiple step equation is to ...

• be confused

• find the constant

• find the coefficient

• find a value for the variable

• add 3 to both sides

• get the variable on one side by adding 2x to both sides

• subtract 11 from both sides

• get the variable on one side by subtracting 2x to both sides
