1. There are 4 steps to solve multi-step equations: use distributive properties, combine like terms, get the variable on one side, and isolate the variable. 2. An example problem is worked through following the steps: 5(x -4) +35 = 7x – 9. The steps are shown to distribute, combine like terms, move the variable to one side, and isolate the variable. 3. A student reflects that the hardest part was determining the order of the steps, while getting the variable to one side was easiest.

- 2. The Four Steps to Solve Multi-Step Equations 1. Use Distributive properties. 2. Combine Like terms 3. Get variable on one side 4. Isolate
- 3. Pick an example problem (delete all the others): 5(x -4) +35 = 7x – 9 Step 1: Distribute 5 to the variable and 4 5(x-4) +35= 7x-9 24 2x 12 x = = 15= 2x-9 5x +15= 7x -9 -5x -5x 5x -20+35= 7x -9 /2 +9+9 /2 Step 2: Then, combine -20 and 35 Step 3: Get the variable on one side of the equation by doing the inverse operation Step 4: Isolate the variable by eliminating the number on the same side of the equal sign.
- 4. Unit Reflection I learned the following vocabulary words this unit: I was aware of all the terms being used before the lesson The hardest part was figuring out what step comes next. The easiest part was getting the variable on one side.
