Solving Multi-Step
Equations (3-Step)
TSWBAT: solve 3-step equations.
Students solve multi-step problems, including
word problems, involving linear equations and
linear inequalities in one variable and provide
justification for each step.
Notes
• Steps for Solving Linear Equations
1. Simplify both sides of the equation.
• Distribute and/or combine like terms.
2. Collect the variables to one side of the equation.
• Collect to the side with the greater variable.
3. Use inverse operations to isolate the variable.
• PEMDAS backwards.
• The Golden Rule (of Mathematics)
What you do to one side,
you must do to the other.
