.

2.  Multi-step equations have more than
2 steps.
To solve:
◦ Simplify the side with the variables.
 Distribute
 Combine Like Terms
 Like terms may NOT cross the = sign!
◦ Then, solve like a 1 or 2-step equation!

3.  2x + 3x + 1 = 36
 -26 = -7b + 6 + 3

4. Solve:
8m – 3m + 7 = 17

5.  -3(1 + 6r) + r = 14
 30 = -5(6n + 6)

6.  Solve:
 -6(1 – 5v) = 54

7. To solve:
1. Distribute if needed.
2. Collect variable terms on one side
and constant terms on the other.
 Use opposite operations to change
sides.
3. Solve.

8.  Solve: 9 – 7x = -5x – 7

9.  Solve: -3x + 9 = 44 + 4x

10.  Solve: 3(5x + 2) = 15x

11.  Solve: -32 + 8x = 7(7 + 5x)

12.  Solve: 8(6n + 3) = 24 – 4n

13.  Solve: 7 + 3(1 – 2m) = -6m + 10

14.  Solve: 7(n – 5) = -38 + 7n

15.  Solve: 6(-b + 6) = 44 – 6b
