Understanding Multi-Step Equations with Distributive Property

This video tutorial explains how to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property. It covers the steps of distributing, combining like terms, moving variables and constants, and checking solutions. Two examples are provided to illustrate these steps, with a review at the end to reinforce the learning process.

What is the first step in solving multi-step equations with the distributive property?

• Combine like terms

• Move variables to one side

• Distribute

• Check the solution

In the first example, what operation is used to move the variable to the left side?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Division

• Addition

What is the value of x in the first example after solving the equation?

• -14

• 14

• -28

• 28

In the second example, what does subtracting a negative number mean?

• Subtracting zero

• Adding a positive

• Subtracting a positive

• Adding zero

What is the result of combining like terms on the left side in the second example?

• 8x + 12

• 8x + 34

• 11x + 34

• 11x + 12

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

• 3

• 4

• 2

• 1

Which step involves moving constants to the right side of the equation?

• Third step

• Second step

• First step

• Fourth step

What should you do after finding the solution to ensure it is correct?

• Move variables to the other side

• Distribute again

• Combine like terms

• Substitute the solution back into the equation
