This document outlines the four steps to solve multi-step equations: 1) distribute, 2) compare like terms, 3) solve like terms, and 4) solve with a two-step equation. An example problem is provided to demonstrate the steps: 2(x+12)-7=6x+5. The steps shown are to distribute, compare like terms, solve like terms, and then solve the resulting two-step equation. A unit reflection notes key vocabulary and that combining like terms was the hardest part while two-step equations were easiest.
