Mastering Multi-Step Equation Solutions

What is the purpose of updating the table of contents in your notebook?

• To keep track of topics covered

• To make the notebook look neat

• To increase the number of pages

• To use more ink

What property is primarily used to solve multi-step equations in the examples?

• Associative property

• Identity property

• Distributive property

• Commutative property

In the first example, what is the result of applying the distributive property to '3(x + 1)'?

• 3x - 1

• x + 3

• 3x + 1

• 3x + 3

How do you check if your solution to an equation is correct?

• Substitute the solution back into the original equation

• Ask a friend

• Guess and check

• Look at the teacher's answer sheet

What is the alternative method introduced for solving equations?

• Subtraction first

• Multiplication first

• Division first

• Addition first

In the second example, what does '2(x - 2) = 18' simplify to using the distributive property?

• 2x - 4 = 18

• 2x - 2 = 18

• x - 4 = 18

• 2x + 4 = 18

What final value of x is obtained in the third example using the distributive property?

• x = 1

• x = 4

• x = 2

• x = 3

Which operation is used to simplify '3(2x - 1) = 9' in the alternative method?

• Division

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

What is the solution to the equation '4(2x + 1) = 68' after applying the distributive property?

• x = 6

• x = 9

• x = 7

• x = 8

How do you verify the solution to the final example?

• By re-solving the equation

• By substituting the solution back into the equation

• By ignoring it

• By asking the teacher
