Multi-Step Equations

Goals

Isolate the variable
Reverse PEMDAS
Distribute if there are parentheses

Ex: 5(6x - 7) = 11 + 7x

Distribute FIRST: 30x - 35 = 11 + 7x
Move all variables to one side using reverse operations: 23x - 35 = 11
Move all constants to the OTHER side of the equation using reverse operations: 23x = 46
Divide by the coefficient on both sides: x = 2

Ex: -2(1 - 4x) = 6x + 12

Distribute: -2 + 8x = 6x + 12
Move all variables to one side: -2 + 2x = 12
Move all constants to the other side: 2x = 14
Divide by coefficient: x = 7

Multiple Choice

3n + 9 + 4n = 2

n = 1

n = -1

n = 7

n = 11

Multiple Choice

5x + 12 - 2x = -15

x =2

x = 4

x = 5

x = -9

Multiple Choice

2(x - 1) = 16

x= 8

x = 7

x = 9

x = -8

Multiple Choice

2(3x - 5) + 4x = 50

x = 5

x = 6

x = 9

x =10

Multiple Choice

t - 8t - 10 = -3(-4x + 5)

x = 3

x = 7

x = 5

x = -1
