Distributive Property
4
Multiple Choice
Simplify: −3(2x − 5)
9x
−6x + 15
−6x −5
−6x−15
5
Combining Like Terms
Like terms have the same variable parts.
All constants are like terms.
Only like terms can be combined by addition or subtraction.
6
Multiple Choice
Simplify: 4x − 7 −5x +3x
2x − 7
−5x
−12x −7
−4x−7
7
Multiple Choice
20x−45
11x−8
16x−9
16x−13

Rules for Solving Multi-Step Equations
- Distribute if you have any distributive property
- Combine Like Terms on the SAME SIDE of the equation
- Get the variable terms together on one side of the equation
- Get the constants together on the opposite side of the equation
- Solve the resulting one-step equation using multiplication or division
- CHECK YOUR SOLUTION!!!!
10
Special Case for Equations (No Solution)
If the variables drop out and you are left with a false statement, then the equation has NO SOLUTION!
ex. If you solve the equation and all that is left is -2 = 6 would mean the equation has no solution.
11
Special Case for Equations (Infinite Solutions)
If the variables drop out and you are left with a TRUE statement, then the equation has INFINITE SOLUTIONS!
ex. If you solve the equation and all that is left is 6 = 6 would mean the equation has infinite solutions.
12
Multiple Choice
Solve: 3x −9 =2x +6 + x
No Solution
