Multistep Equations and INequalities

Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

A multistep 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

Solve for x: 4x - 3 = 17

Back

x = 5

Front

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

Back

Distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses: 12n + 30 = 66.

Front

Solve for n: 6(2n + 5) = 66

Back

n = 3

Front

What does the inequality x >= 3 mean?

Back

It means that x can be 3 or any number greater than 3.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 96 = 6(k + 8)?

Back

k = 8

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 parentheses.

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions, showing that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.

Front
