Solving Multi-Step Equations

One Step

100

11b = 121

b = 11

200

(-x/4) = 5

x = -20

300

2y = -18

y = -9

400

x - 25 = 60

x = 85

500

-x = 57

x = -57

Solving by Combining Like Terms

100

5h + 2 + 2h = 23

h = 3

200

3b + b - 8 = 4

b = 3

300

3a + 12 - 6a = -9

a = 7

400

-6 = -3y + 4 + 5y

y = -5

500

78 = 3c + 12 - c + 4

c = 31

Solving by Using the Distributive Property

100

2(x + 5) = 14

x = 2

200

5(d - 2) = 40

d = 10

300

7(4 - t) = -84

t = 16

400

-2(x - 9) = -24

x = 21

500

-13(4 + 2a) = 208

a = -10

Variables on One Side (Random)

100

4x + 9 = 33

x = 6

200

x + 3x = -8

x = -2

300

4(y - 2) + y = -13

y = -1

400

-6(m + 1) + 18 = 24

m = -2

500

7k - 8 + 2(k + 12) = 52

k = 4

Equations with Variables on Both Sides

100

6x - 27 = 3x - 54

x = -9

200

16x - 32 = 4x - 128

x = -8

300

4n + 1 = -2n + 8

n = 7/6 or 1.17

400

2(y - 3) = y + 4

y = 10

500

3.1(2f + 1.2) = 0.2(f - 6)

f = -0.82
