Solving Steps
What is the first step in solving equations?
Distribute
2(x - 7) = 10
x = 12
6 + 10x - 4x = x +1
x = -1
-2(v - 2) = -3 - 2v
No Solution
Where does Ms. Jacob currently go to school?
University of Dayton
What is the second step in solving equations?
Combine like terms
5(x + 2) = -20
x = -2
-7x - 10 = -8x - 4x
x = 2
-4(v + 3) = -12 - 4v

2 PARTS:
What year did Ms. Jacob graduate from undergrad and what university did she attend?
In 2018, Ms. Jacob graduated from Cedarville University.
What is the third step in solving equations? (Be specific).
Add or Subtract to move the variable term.
3(2 + x) = 5x + 16
x = -5
10 - 8x = -2x + 4x
x = 1
-3(v + 4) = 2v - 37

How many more years has Mr. Frantz been teaching than Ms. Jacob?
21 more years.
What is the last step in solving equations? (be specific).
Multiply or Divide to isolate the variable.
-152 = 4x - 4(6x + 13)
x = 5
13 + 4x + 3x = 3x + 1
x = -3
4(k - 8) = -32 + 4k

What other subject is Ms. Jacob able to teach?
Science
When solving an equation with a fraction on one side, what is the first step to get rid of the fraction?
Multiply by the denominator (or reciprocal)
5x + 2(1 - x) = 2(2x - 1)
x = 4
-5 + 7 + 2x - 3x = x - 8
x = 5
-(3 - 6b) = 6b + 5
