Solving Multi-Step Equations

As you prepare to learn about solving multi-step equations. Which of the following should you have?

• Notes

• Pencil

• Calculator (can be on phone or desmos.com)

• All of the above

• Clear and Focused Workspace

What is the goal of solving an equation? ​ (a)  

• isolate the vaiable
• multiply and divide
• distribute
• combine like terms

Pause here are make sure you have your notes written down to answer these three questions

1. 1. What is the goal of solving equations?

2. 2. How do we reach the goal of solving equations?

3. 3. What do we do once we are done solving the equations to check?

Type DONE in the response once you have that done.

Why CAN'T we add 11x and 4 to get 7X?

• 11x and 4 are not like terms

• 11x and 4 are like terms

• subtract 9 from 30

• add 9 to 30

• add 9 and 3

• multiply 9 and 30

Now that you solved and found that x = -7, what should you do next?

• go to the next problem

• check your work by redoing the problem

• check your work by replacing the x in the original equation with -7

• -2x - 18

• 2x - 18

• 2x + 18

• -2x + 18

• g = -11
• g=11
• g=-5
• g=5
