Multi-step equations 4 steps (same side)

Which of the following equations require you to use the Distributive Property first? Select all that apply.

• 6x - 8 = 7(x + 2)

• 7n - 5 = 3

• 2(a - 9) = 9a + 1

• 4 - 9y+ 8 +2y

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12
• 4
• 5
• 15

3x + 2(4x - 4) = 3

• 4
• 3
• 2
• 1

5(x + 4) - 2 = 12

Write your answer as #/#

• 2x + 6 + 5x + 1 = 15

• 2x + 6 + 5x + 5 = 15

• 2x + 3 + 5x + 1 = 15

• 7x - 4 = 15

• Distribute the 4 to x and 2

• Combine 4x and 3x

• Subtract 8

• Subtract 2

• Multiply by 7

What is the mistake in the student work?

• They didn't distribute correctly

• They didn't add 4x and 3x correctly

• They subtracted instead of adding 6

• They divided instead of multiplying the 12

In what step do you see the first mistake?

• Step 1

• Step 2

• Step 3

• Step 4
