Solving Multi-Step Equations Challenge

What does a multi-step equation typically involve?

• Only addition and subtraction

• Two or more steps to solve

• One step to solve

• No steps to solve

In a multi-step equation, what should you do after simplifying the expression?

• Use PEMDAS to solve

• Use SADMAP to solve

• Combine like terms again

• Add more variables

What is the simplified form of the expression 3x + 4x?

• 8x

• 7x

• 6x

• 5x

After simplifying 3x + 4x to 7x = 35, what is the next step to solve for x?

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Add 7 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 7

• Divide both sides by 7

What is the value of x in the equation 7x = 35?

• x = 3

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = 6

In Example 2, what are the like terms in the expression 5y - y + 6?

• 5y and -y

• 5y and 6

• y and 6

• 5y and y

What is the simplified form of 5y - y?

• 6y

• 5y

• 4y

• 3y

What is the first step in solving the equation 6x + 9 = 36 using the distributive property?

• Multiply both sides by 6

• Subtract 9 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 6

• Add 9 to both sides

What is the value of x in the equation 6x = 27?

• x = 5

• x = 3

• x = 4

• x = 4.5

In the second method for solving distributive property equations, what is the first step?

• Divide both sides by the factor outside the parentheses

• Subtract the terms inside the parentheses

• Add the terms inside the parentheses

• Multiply both sides by the factor outside the parentheses
