Objective To solve m ulti-step equations in o n e variable

In this lesson, you will learn to w rite a n d solve m ulti-step equations.

Essential U nderstanding To solve m ulti-step equations, you form a series of
simpler equivalent equations. To do this, use the properties of equality, inverse operations,
an d properties of real num bers. You use th e p roperties until you isolate th e variable.

How is this equation

Combining Like Terms
What is the solution of 5 = 5m — 23 + 2m?
different from 5 = 5m - 23 + 2m
equations you've
seen before? 5 = 5m + 2m^ — 2 3 Commutative Property of Addition
The variable occurs in 5 = 7m — 2 3 Combine like terms.

sim plify the equation by
grouping like terms and
combining them.

5 + 23 = 7 m - 23 + 23
28 = 7m^

A dd 23 to each side.
Simplify.
Divide each side by 7.
4 = m Simplify.
Check 5 = 5m — 2 3 + 2m
5 = 5 ( 4 ) - 23 + 2 ( 4 ) Substitute 4 for m.
5 = 5 / S im plify. The s o lu tio n checks.
