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.
