solving multi-step equations
what is the Distributive Property?
This is a property that allows you to combine like terms in an equation.
what is division
a operation that is used to isolate a variable when it is multiplied by a number.
what is the multiplication property of equality?
This is a property that you can multiply the same number to both sides of an equation without changing the equation.
what is a flip the inequality sign?
when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, this is what you have to do.
what is an equation?
a statement that shows two expressions are equal.
in the equation 3(x+2)=18 what does X =?
X=4
in the equation 4x+2=2x+8 what does X=?
X=-3
what is to isolate the variable
This is the goal when you are rewriting an equation to solve for a specific variable.
what is the first thing to do with the equation 2x+3<9
you subtract 3 from both sides
what does X= in the equation x-3=7
X=10
What is perform the same operation
This is what you do to both sides of an equation to maintain equality.
what are like terms?
like terms describes expressions that have the same variable raised to the same power.
in the equation y+3=7, what would you do to get y be itself?
you would subtract 3 from both sides.
what is the first thing to do with the equation 2x-5=10
add 5 to both sides.
X+4=20 what does X=?
X=16
in the equation 4x-7=2x+11 what does X=
x=9
in the equation 3x=x+6 what does X=?
X=3
if y/2=4, what does Y=?
y=8
what does X= in the equation x+7=10
x=3
X+5=12 what does X=?
X=7
in the equation x+5-5=10-5 what does X=
X=5
in the equation 2x+4=x+6 what does X=
X=2
what is inverse operation?
A mathematical term for undoing an operation, like how subtraction undoes addition.
what is multiply both sides by 5?
this is the operation you perform to isolate x in the equation x/5=3
what is the opposite of addition?
subtraction.
