Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

An equation that requires more than one step to solve, often involving combining like terms and isolating the variable.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

To manipulate an equation so that the variable is on one side and all other terms are on the opposite side.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 3 = 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front
