Solving Multistep Equations

Front

What is a multistep equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 2(x - 3) = 4?

Back

The first step is to distribute the 2, resulting in 2x - 6 = 4.

Front

How do you isolate the variable in the equation 3x + 5 = 20?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide by 3 to find x = 5.

Front

What does it mean if an equation has 'No Solution'?

Back

'No Solution' means that there is no value for the variable that can satisfy the equation.

Front

What does it mean if an equation has 'All Real Numbers' as a solution?

Back

'All Real Numbers' means that any value for the variable will satisfy the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 4x - 8 = 0.

Back

x = 2.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 5(x + 2) = 25?

Back

x = 3.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 4 = 10?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to get 2x = 6.

Front

How do you solve the equation 3(x - 1) = 12?

Back

First, distribute the 3 to get 3x - 3 = 12, then add 3 to both sides to find 3x = 15, and finally divide by 3 to get x = 5.
