1. Multi-Step Equations Notes and Practice

2. Essential Question  How do I solve an equation that has more than one variable term?

3. Multi-Step Equations  Equations will not always be able to be solved in one or two steps.  You will see many more complicated equations in higher math. 6 – x – 3 = 4(x – 2) + 4

4. Process  Simplify both sides of the equation separately  Add/subtract to get all variable terms to one side of the equation (stay fair and balanced!)  Get the variable alone

5. Example 2x – 5(x + 4) = -2

6. Example

7. Practice 1) 5y – 7 = 3y – 13 2) 4(w + 1) – 2 = 18 3) 7x + 3 – 12 = -x + 74) 3(x – 2) = 12 5) 2x + 4 + 3x = 20 + x + 86) 9p + 27 – 3p = 72

8. What about that original problem? 6 – x – 3 = 4(x – 2) + 4

9. Essential Question  How do I solve an equation that has more than one variable term?
