Multistep Equations Variables on Both Sides with Distribution

What is the error?

• Adding 2x to 3x

• Subtracting 5 from both sides

• Adding 2x to -2x

• Dividing by 5 on both sides

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

• Distribute (if necessary)

• Combine Like Terms

• Move the Variable

• Undo Multiplication / Division

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

• Find the constant

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Get rid of the variable

• Distributive Property of Equality

• Combine like terms

• Addition Property of Equality

• Subtraction Property of Equality

Answer explanation

From step 1 to step 2 notice the parantheses go away. Tha tis because

What is the second step in solving multi-step equations?

• Distribution (if necessary)

• Combine Like terms

• Move Variable

• Solve! With SADMEP

Solve for X

4(1-x)+3x = -2x-2

• x= -6

• x= 3

• x= 6

• x= -3

Solve for a:

9+2a = -3-4a

• a=5

• a= -1

• a= -2

• a=2

Solve for f:

f-4 = 6f+26

• f= -5

• f= 5

• f= 6

• f= -6

Which statement best describes the first step to the equation?

• Add 3 to both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Get the variables on one side

• Add 2 to both sides

Solve for x: 5(2x-1)=-5+10x

• x=5

• No solution

• x=0

• All real numbers
