Interactive Algebra: Solving Equations: Solving Multi Step Equations

There are many equations Algebra I students are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson exposes learners to a wide variety of...

Teach solving equations through an exploration of properties. Before pupils solve equations they manipulate them to produce equivalent equations. The activity switches the focus from finding a solution to applying properties correctly.

Challenge your mathematicians to simplify and solve a variety of different equations. This worksheet focuses on multi-step problems that begin with combining like terms and advance toward solving equations with variables on both sides. A...

There's more than one way to solve an equation — three, actually. Scholars learn how to solve simple linear equations in one variable using three different methods, which include using balance scales, using decomposition (e.g., turning...

The solution resides at the intersection. Pupils use a short instructional activity to review the process of solving a system of linear equations using graphing. The instructional activity provides completed graphs for most of the items,...

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to remove the parenthesis. Then, it is solved for the variables. Since variables are on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the answer by...

Sal dissects basic algebraic equations of the form Ax=B. He encourages viewers to fully understand the equations before learning how to manipulate them. Furthermore, he teaches students how to solve the equations systematically. The...

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to remove the parenthesis. Then, it is solved for the variables. Since there are variables on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the...

This inequality word problem would make a good warm-up activity for a class studying single-variable inequalities. This video creates and solves an inequality based on a short-word problem about unit cost.

This is a lesson in solving linear equations. More specifically, students will see how to solve an equation with a variable expression in the denominator of a fraction.
