Solving Equations with Distribution

This video tutorial from Moomoomath and Science explains how to solve equations that require distribution. It covers the steps of distributing terms, combining like terms, and moving variables and constants to opposite sides of the equation. The tutorial provides a clear example, demonstrating how to solve an equation step-by-step, ensuring variables are on one side and constants on the other, ultimately finding the solution.

What do parentheses in an equation indicate?

• They indicate division.

• They indicate multiplication.

• They indicate subtraction.

• They indicate addition.

What is the first step in solving an equation with distribution?

• Combine like terms.

• Move variables to the left.

• Distribute.

• Move constants to the right.

What should you do after distributing in an equation?

• Solve for x.

• Move constants to the right.

• Combine like terms.

• Move variables to the left.

In the example, what is the result of multiplying 3 times X?

• 3X

• X

• 3X - 1

• 3

What is the result of multiplying 3 times negative one?

• -1

• 1

• 3

• -3

How do you move the 2x from the right side of the equation?

• By multiplying both sides by 2x.

• By subtracting 2x from both sides.

• By dividing both sides by 2x.

• By adding 2x to both sides.

What happens to the 2x terms when you subtract 2x from both sides?

• They remain the same.

• They add up.

• They cancel each other out.

• They double.

What is the next step after moving all variables to one side?

• Solve for x.

• Distribute.

• Move constants to the right side.

• Combine like terms.

What is the result of adding 3 to both sides of the equation?

• X = 6

• X = 15

• X = 9

• X = 12

What are the final steps in solving an equation with distribution?

• Move constants to the right, distribute, combine like terms, move variables to the left.

• Distribute, combine like terms, move variables to the left, move constants to the right.

• Combine like terms, distribute, move variables to the left, move constants to the right.

• Move variables to the left, distribute, combine like terms, move constants to the right.
