Introduction to Multi-Step Equations

Multi-step equations require more than one operation to solve. These include equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where you'll need to use multiple steps to isolate the variable.

The key is to work systematically: simplify first, then use inverse operations to solve.

These equations build on everything you've learned about one-step equations and the distributive property.
