3-3 Solving Multi-Step Equations
Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
A multi-step equation requires more
than two steps to solve. To solve a
multi-step equation, you may have to
simplify the equation first by combining
like terms.

Combine like terms.
Since 4 is added to 11x,
subtract 4 from both sides.
Since x is multiplied by 11,
divide both sides by 11.

Since x is multiplied by 13,
divide both sides by 13.
3-3 Solving Multi-Step Equations
Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
If an equation contains fractions, it may
help to multiply both sides of the
equation by the least common
denominator (LCD) to clear the fractions
before you isolate the variable.

2 hours. On Tuesday, he rides three times as
far in 5 hours. If his average speed for the two
days is 12 mi/h, how far did he ride on
