Multi-Step Equations

Solve: 7x = 3x + 24

• 10

• 4

• 6

• 14

Solve: 10x + 9 = 4x - 9

• 3

• 0

• -18

• -3

Solve the equation: 4x - 5x + 9 = 5x - 9

• x=3

• x=-3

• x=-9

• x=9

What is the first step to solving this equation:

-11 - 3x = 44 - 2x

• Add 11 to both sides

• Get the variable on one side

• Add 3 to both sides

• Add 2 on both sides.

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

What is the first step you should take to solve this problem?

1 + 4n - 6n = 1 - 8n

• subtract 8n to both sides

• multiply 6n to both sides

• combine the like terms 4n + -6n
