In this online math worksheet, students solve multi-step equations which have the variable on both sides. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

Investigate the order of operations! Learners participate in interactive multi-media activities to examine and solve multi-step equations, inequalities. They evaluate formulas and simplify monomials and polynomials.

Students explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation instructional activity, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Students make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the properties of equality to solve multi-step equations in one variable.  The tow page worksheet contains explanation, guided examples, and fifteen practice problems.  Answers are...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice and word problem equations.  Students use the distributive property to combine like terms and isolate the variable.

Seventh graders solve 10 different problems that take multiple steps to solve. First, they combine like terms if necessary. Pupils isolate the terms that contain the variable they want to solve. In addition, they substitute their answer...

Combine like terms before solving the equation. This should be a rule of thumb. The goal is to isolate the variable, so it stands to reason that if you have more than one of the same variable, you would combine them. See how the teacher...

As if solving multi-step equations isn't challenging enough, now they have decimals! The video lesson explains strategies for working with these decimals while solving. Learners watch as the video instructor explains how to solve two...

Learners solve multi-step equations and apply the process of elimination. For this algebra lesson, students solve linear inequalities and equations using linear combination and evaluation. They graph their results on a number line...

Mathematicians use an inquiry method to solve linear equations. In this linear equations lesson, students practice solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They solve multi-step equations and equations...

Where did all these variables come from, anyway? The previous lessons in the series ask learners to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and using inverse operations. Now scholars solve...

Find the right balance between concrete and abstract thinking. After using interactive balances to explore inverse operations, learners solve multi-step equations with variables on both sides. Of course, they can still use the...

A multi-step equation with a fraction. Oh my! Just get rid of that fraction first and the rest will fall in to place. Follow the instructor as she takes you through the many steps to solving this equation.

In this multi-step equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 11 different problems that include applying several steps to complete each one. First, they determine what the operations have done to the variable and undo these...

No negative variables allowed! The instructor demonstrates how to apply the multiplication property of -1 to solve a multi-step equation that has a negative variable.

Love those fractions?!? This lesson involves using the multiplication property of equality to eliminate the fraction in the given equation. In this equation, (2/3)( x-4)=4, the reciprocal of the fraction is used to eliminate it. The...

Fractions!?! Learn how to solve an equation that has a fraction in it. The teacher shows how to multiply to eliminate fractions in an equation. She then shows the steps in solving the equation by further isolating the variable.

Solve an equation that has both variables and fractions. Use the rules of equality to add, subtract, multiply, and divide to isolate the variable and find your answer. Don't forget to plug your answer into the original problem to verify.
