  1. Solving Multi-Step Equations Just remember to follow the steps Distribute if you can Collect all like terms to simplify Get rid of the friend Get rid of the boyfriend

  2. Example # 1 1st Step: Distribute if you can 2nd Step: Collect like terms to simplify 3rd Step: Get rid of the friend 4th step: Get rid of the boyfriend 15 – 4 ( y + 3 ) = 19 • - 4y- 12 = 19 3 - 4y = 19 -3 - 3 -4 y = 16 -4 -4 y = -4

  3. Example # 2 X = 2

  4. Example # 3 1st Step: Distribute if you can 2nd Step: Collect like terms to simplify 3rd Step: Isolate the variable using the opposite order of operations 4th step: Check your answer 2( 4x + 3) – 5(2x – 1) = 27

  5. The Distributive Property Our Friend for Solving Equations Also starring, his Wacky Sidekick, Combining Like Terms

  6. 3(2x + 5) = 39

  7. Answer: x = 4

  8. - 4(8 + 5n) = 8

  9. Answer: n = -2

  10. 6(3x - 5) - 7x = 25

  11. Answer: x = 5

  12. -2(5 + 6m) + 16 = -90

  13. Answer: m = 8

  14. 18x - (8x - 7) = 67

  15. Answer: x = 6

  16. 7w - 3(4w + 8) = 11
