Solving Multiple-Step Equations

Solving Multiple-Step Equations (Part 1) – Variable on One Side

Instructions:

Follow along with video and fill in the blanks as indicated. Space has been provided for
you to show all work on this sheet and take any additional notes.

Example: Copy steps/answers from video.

1. 4x + 2x – 3 = 9

Fill in the blank(s):

Equations that contain like terms must be simplified ___________they can

Examples: Copy steps/answers from video.

2. 7m – m + 5 = 14

3. 12y + 3y – 8y = –12 + 33

4. 4(a + 3) + 6a = –4

5. 14 – (6x + 2) + 8x = –14 + 20

Notes: __________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________

Problem Set: Solving Multiple-Step Equations – Part 1

Solve and check your solutions.

1. 4m – 6m + 8m = –20 – 4

2. –3x – 4 – 8x + 6 = –20

3. –6 + 8 = 4y + 3(y + 5) – 6

4. –6 + 8 = 4y – 3(y + 5) – 6

5. 2(m – 3) – 4(m + 6) = 18

Lesson 8 (cont’d): Solving Multiple-Step Equations (Part 2) – Variable on Both Sides

Examples: Copy steps/answers from video.

1. 3x – 2 = 6x + 7

2. 4(x – 3) + 8 = 2x – 2 + 12

Fill in the blank(s):

Steps for Solving Linear Equations

1. Remove any _______________________and combine like
terms on each side of the equation.

2. Use the Addition Property of Equality to get:

a. the __________________ terms on ____________
and/or

b. the __________________ terms on the other side.

3. Use the Multiplication/Division Property of Equality to get
the __________________ of the variable term equal to a “1”.

4. ____________your answer.

Copy steps/answers from video.

3. 3(a + 12) = 1 – 2(a – 5)

Problem Set: Solving Multiple-Step Equations – Part 2

Solve and check your solutions.

1. –5m + 3 = 2m – 4

2. –4x – 2(x + 5) – 3x = 13 + 8 + x

3. 3y + 2(y – 4) = 12 y + 5

4. 8m – (m + 2) + 4 = 4m – 7

Lesson 8 (cont’d): Strategies – Decimals and Fractions

Examples: Copy steps/answers from video.

3. 0.3 – 0.5(x + 3) = 1.4 – 0.6x

4. 0.4(2x + 5) = 2.3 – (x + 3)

Notes: _________________________________________________________________________

Problem Set: Solving Equations with Decimals and Fractions

Solve by first clearing the fractions and decimals. Check at least two solutions.

3. 2.1x + 6.5 = 4.1 – 3.9x

Solve without clearing the fractions or decimals.

4. 0.6 – 2(a – 1) = 0.2 + 5 – a

Lesson 8 (cont’d): Solving Inequalities

Fill in the blank(s):

An __________________ is two expressions separated by one of
the following symbols:

Less than, <
Less than or equal, <
Greater than, >
Greater than or equal, >

Examples: Copy steps/answers from video.
