Solving Multi-Step Equations Quiz

When solving multi-step equations, what does it mean to combine like terms?

• Multiply terms with different variables

• Ignore terms with the same variable and exponent

• Divide terms with different exponents

• Simplify the equation by adding or subtracting terms with the same variable and exponent.

In the equation 3(x + 2) = 15, what is the first step to solve for x?

• Add 2 to both sides of the equation

• Divide both sides of the equation by 3

• Distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses.

• Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation

How do you solve an equation with variables on both sides?

• Ignore the variable terms and solve for the constant

• Subtract the variable terms from both sides

• Divide by the variable

• Combine like terms, move variable terms to one side, and solve for the variable

In the equation 0.5x - 1.5 = 2, what is the value of x?

• 7

• 3

• 5

• 10

When using the distributive property to solve an equation, what do you do first?

• Add the value outside the parentheses to only one term inside the parentheses

• Distribute the value outside the parentheses to each term inside the parentheses.

• Ignore the value outside the parentheses

• Combine the terms inside the parentheses

In the equation 2/3x + 4 = 8, what is the value of x?

• 3.5

• 10

• 2

• 6

7 + y = 5(2y - 1) + 3y

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

-9 + 2(n + 3) = 4n - 7

0.1(y + 2) = 4(0.2y - 0.3)
