Solving Multi-Step Equations including Special Cases

Front

What is a multi-step equation?

Back

A multi-step equation is an equation that requires more than one step to solve. It often involves combining like terms, using the distributive property, and isolating the variable.

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means rearranging the equation so that the variable is on one side of the equation and all other terms are on the opposite side.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by each term inside a set of parentheses.

Front

How do you combine like terms in an equation?

Back

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients of terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What is an infinite solution in the context of equations?

Back

An infinite solution occurs when an equation simplifies to a true statement for all values of the variable, indicating that there are countless solutions.

Front

What is a no solution scenario in equations?

Back

A no solution scenario occurs when an equation simplifies to a false statement, indicating that there are no values of the variable that can satisfy the equation.
