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.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 5h + 4 = 12 + h?

Back

Subtract h from both sides to begin isolating the variable.

Front

Solve for h: 5h + 4 = 12 + h

Back

h = 2

Front

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

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

Solve for x: 11 - 3x = 44

Back

x = -11

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 23 - 9x = -56x - 28?

Back

Add 9x to both sides to combine like terms.

Front

Solve for x: 23 - 9x = -56x - 28

Back

x = -1.09

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 0 + 10x = 60 - 2x?

Back

Add 2x to both sides.

Front

Solve for x: 0 + 10x = 60 - 2x

Back

x = 5
