One Two Multi-Step Equations

Solve for a

• a= -2

• a= -7.5

• a= 2

• a= 6

Solve for z

• z = -1

• z = 1

• z = 0

• z = 8

Describe the first step in solving x + 2 = -10

• Add 2 to both sides of the equation

• Subtract 2 to both sides of the equation

• Add 10 to both sides of the equation

• Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation

Solve for x.
x+2=-10

• x=-12

• x=6

• x=-8

• x=2

Find the solution:
10 = 4x - 2

• x = 3

• x = 2

• x = -3

• x = -2

Solve:

3(x - 2) = 18

• 6.7

• 4

• 8

• -4

• none of the above

Solve for y.
-2y=20

• y=-10

• y=2

• y=-20

• y=15

What is the first step in solving the equation 2a - 4(a - 5) = 10

• Add 4 to both sides

• Add the 2a and a 

• Distribute 4 to a and -5

• Distribute -4 to a and -5

A wise man once said, "400 reduced by twice my age is 260." What equation represents how old the man is?

• 260-2a=400

• 400-260=2a

• 2a-400=260

• 400-2a=260

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3

• c = 6

• c = 7

• c = 18
