Multi-Step Math Equations

Solve the multi-step equation:

5(10m + 2) = 40m + 25 + 5m – 5

• m = 2

• m = 4

• m = 5

• m = 1

When you have a multi-step equation what should you do first?

• All of the addition

• Always start with combining like terms

• Do distributive property first

• Factor a common number

5(x + 3) + 4(2x + 6)

• 13x + 39

• 5x + 15 + 8x + 6

• 13x + 21

• 13x + 9

Solve this two-step equation:

5m - 6 = 9

• m = 3

• m = 3/5

• m = 9

• m = 4

Simplify the following expression:
