Solve Multi-Step Linear Equations Worksheet | 14 Examples

The video tutorial covers 14 examples of solving multistep equations, focusing on simplifying them to two-step equations using inverse operations, distributive property, and combining like terms. It also addresses handling equations with grouping symbols and solving complex equations with multiple steps.

What is the first step in simplifying a multistep equation to a two-step equation?

• Multiply all terms by the same number

• Divide all terms by the same number

• Combine like terms

• Add all constants to one side

When dealing with parentheses and a negative sign, what should you do first?

• Ignore the parentheses

• Distribute the negative sign

• Multiply the terms inside the parentheses

• Add the numbers inside the parentheses

How do you handle a negative sign outside of parentheses?

• Ignore it

• Distribute it as a negative one

• Add it to the terms inside

• Multiply it by two

What is the result of distributing a negative sign across the expression (2N - 3)?

• 2N - 3

• -2N - 3

• -2N + 3

• 2N + 3

What is the purpose of using the distributive property in solving equations?

• To divide terms equally

• To add terms together

• To simplify expressions by removing parentheses

• To eliminate fractions

What is the result of solving the equation 4Y - 2 = 0?

• Y = 1

• Y = 1/2

• Y = 2

• Y = 0

In a complex equation with multiple grouping symbols, what is the recommended approach?

• Solve from the outside in

• Solve from the inside out

• Ignore the grouping symbols

• Add all terms together first

How do you simplify an equation with both parentheses and brackets?

• Add all terms together

• Distribute the terms inside the parentheses first

• Distribute the terms inside the brackets first

• Multiply all terms by the same number

When combining like terms, what should you focus on?

• Combining terms with the same variable

• Multiplying all terms by the same number

• Adding all constants together

• Dividing all terms by the same number

What is the solution to the equation 15P - 16 = 59?

• P = 6

• P = 5

• P = 8
