3 Solving Multi-Step Equations

LT 3.3.1: Solve equations with multiple steps.

1. The first thing you need to look for is ____________________________________________

Example. 3t + 5t 5 = 11

2. Another thing to look for is _______________________________________________________.

Then ____________________________________________________________________.
Example. 5a + 3(a + 2) = 22

3. Or if theres a ______________________ to be distributed, ___________________________________________.

Example.

(a 5) = 9

Examples. Solve each equation.

a. 9d 4d + 7 = 16

b.

c. 2x + 7(x 3) = 6

d. 40 = 2(10 + 4k) + 2k

(x + 5) = 6

When you do your assignment, you must include the following work:
1. Write the equation
2. Show the necessary work
3. Write your solution
If you do not do this, you will not receive credit for your assignment!!!
