Introduction to Multi-Step Equations

Multi-step equations are algebraic equations that require more than one step to solve. These types of equations often involve multiple operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Key Concepts

  • Balancing the equation: What you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other.
  • Order of operations: Follow PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) rules.
  • Isolating the variable: The goal is to get the variable on one side of the equation.

Solving Multi-Step Equations

@TODO: multiple detailed explanations step-by-step

Practice Problems

Solve the following equations:

  1. \( 4x - 7 = 21 \)
  2. \( 5(x + 3) = 2x + 20 \)
  3. \( 3x/2 - 6 = 9 \)
