Solving Multi-Step Equations with Distributive Property

This video tutorial covers solving multi-step equations using the distributive property and combining like terms. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to distribute, combine terms, and isolate variables to solve equations. The tutorial includes several example problems and practice exercises for students to apply the concepts learned.

What is the first step in solving multi-step equations involving the distributive property?

• Combining like terms

• Moving variables to one side

• Distributing

• Isolating the variable

When you see parentheses in an equation, what should you do?

• Isolate the variable

• Move constants to the other side

• Distribute

• Combine like terms

In the first example, what is the result of multiplying 5 by -2?

• 10

• -5

• -10

• 5

After distributing, what is the next step in solving the equation?

• Moving constants to the other side

• Combining like terms

• Isolating the variable

• Moving variables to one side

In the second example, what is the result of 3 times 4?

• 7

• 3

• 4

• 12

What do you do with terms that are not inside the rectangle?

• Ignore them

• Move them to the other side

• Bring them down

• Combine them

In the faster-paced examples, what is the result of 6 times -5?

• -30

• 30

• -6

• 6

What is the final step in solving for the variable?

• Combining like terms

• Distributing

• Moving constants to the other side

• Dividing or multiplying to isolate the variable

In the practice problems, what is the value of y when y equals 5?

• -5

• 10

• 5

• 0

What should you do if you do not get the correct answers in the practice problems?

• Skip the problems

• Ask for help

• Guess the answers

• Redo the problems
