Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

A multistep equation is an equation that requires more than one step to solve, often involving operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 11 - 3x = 44?

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 10(h+1)-4=76?

Back

h=7.

Front

What does it mean to 'combine like terms' in an equation?

Back

Combining like terms means to simplify an expression by adding or subtracting terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

Solve for y: 3y + 6 + 4y - 7 = -8.

Back

y = -1.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Solve for x: 4 = 2(x + 3).

Back

x = -1.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 6(2n + 5) = 66?

Back

Divide both sides by 6.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 6(2n + 5) = 66?

Back

n = 3.
