Solving Multi Step Equations in 7th Grade Math

In this video, the instructor teaches how to solve multi-step equations by building on previous lessons about one-step and two-step equations. The video includes two examples: a simple equation and a more complex one involving the distributive property. The instructor emphasizes the importance of combining like terms and using inverse operations to solve equations. The lesson concludes with a recap of the steps involved in solving multi-step equations.

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

• Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Combine all like terms

• Add a constant to both sides
