Solving Multi-Step Equations

This video tutorial from Mumu Math and Science explains how to solve multi-step equations. It covers the process of distributing terms, combining like terms, moving variables to one side, and constants to the other. The tutorial provides a step-by-step example, checks the solution, and summarizes the key steps involved in solving such equations. The video emphasizes the importance of kindness and encourages viewers to be kind.

What is the first step in solving a multi-step equation?

• Combine like terms

• Move variables to the right

• Add constants

• Distribute terms

When distributing 4 * (5 + 2x), what is the result?

• 20 + 8x

• 5 + 8x

• 20 + 2x

• 4 + 10x

After distributing, what should you do next?

• Divide by the coefficient

• Add variables to the right

• Combine like terms

• Move constants to the left

What is the result of combining 20 and -2?

• 0

• 18

• 22

• 2

How do you isolate the variable on one side of the equation?

• Subtract the variable from both sides

• Divide both sides by the constant

• Add the same number to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the variable

What operation is used to move constants to the other side?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is the final value of x in the example problem?

• 3

• 1

• -3

• 0

What should you do after finding the value of x?

• Check the solution

• Add more variables

• Multiply by a constant

• Subtract from both sides

What is the result of 4 * -6 in the checking step?

• 4

• 24

• -4

• -24

What is the final check to ensure the solution is correct?

• Both sides of the equation are equal

• The constants are on one side

• The equation is simplified

• The variable is isolated
