 To solve a multi step equation follow these steps: › Perform the distributive property › Combine all like terms › Use inverse operations to move the variables on one side and the numbers on the opposite side of the equal or inequality sign. › Solve for the variable

2(p + 3) = p + 6 = There are no like terms to combine 3. 2p = 4 4. p = 2 1. Perform the distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Move the variable and numbers on different sides of the sign 4. Solve for the variable

 5(2n – 6) = 20

9(4y – 1) – 26y + 11 = y – 9 – 26y + 11 = (36y – 26y) + ( ) = y + 2 = y = y = Perform the distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Move the variable and numbers on different sides of the sign 4. Solve for the variable

 4(3s -1) – 8s + 6 > -10

-6 – 2c + 2 > 3c c 1. There is not a distributive property 2. (-6 + 2)+(-2c) > (3c + 5c) +(16) -4 – 2c > 8c c > 8c c > c < Perform distributive property 2. Combine like terms. 3. Move the variable and numbers on different sides of the sign 4. Solve for the variable

 8b b – 5b = 7b + 10 – 4b

 A new one year membership at Workout Nation costs $650. A registration fee of $150 is paid up front and the rest is paid monthly. How much do new members pay each month? (Hint…Set it up as a 2 step equation and solve for your variable)
