1. The document discusses the four steps to solve multi-step equations: distribute, combine like terms, get the variable on one side, and isolate the variable. 2. It provides an example problem working through each step: 7(x+9) – 10 = 2x + 6. 3. The reflection notes learning key vocabulary, that working with negatives was hardest, and isolating the variable was easiest.

2. The Four Steps to Solve Multi-
Step Equations
1. Distribute
2. Combining Like Terms
3. Get Variable On One Side
4. Isolate

3. Pick an example problem (delete all the others):
7(x+9) – 10 = 2x + 6
Step 1: distribute7(x+9)-10=2x+6

Step 2:combine like terms
Step 3:get variable on one
side
Step 4: isolate

4. Unit Reflection
• I learned the following vocabulary words
this unit: 1.Distribute 2.Combine Like Terms 3.
Getting Variable On One Side 4. Isolate
• The hardest part was when I had to do the
negatives with the multi step equation.
• The easiest part was when I had to isolate
the variable.
