Solving Multi-Step EquationsSolve Using Subtraction and

DivisionSolve 5n + 6 = -4. Then check your solution.

5n + 6 = -4 Write original equation.

5n + 6 – 6 = -4 – 6 Subtract 6 from each side.

5n = -10 Simplify.

5n = -10 Divide each side by 5

5 5n = -2 Simplify

ARE WE DONE?

NONo

Don’t forget your check!

Checking Multi-Step Equations

Using Subtraction and DivisionSolve 5n + 6 = -4. Then check your solution.

5n + 6 = -4 Write original equation.

5(-2) + 6 = -4 Substitute -2 for n.

-10 + 6 = -4 Simplify.

-4 = -4 Add.

The solution is -2

Solving Multi-Step Equations

Solve Using Subtraction and Multiplication

Solve c + 5 = 7. Then check your solution.

-3 c + 5 = 7. Write original equation. Isolate c.

-3 c + 5 – 5 = 7- 5. Work backwards. Subtract 5-3 from each side.

c = 2. Simplify.-3

c = -6 Simplify

-3 c = 2 -3 Multiply by reciprocal. 1 -3 1

ARE WE DONE?

NONo

Don’t forget your check!

Checking Multi-Step Equations

Using Subtraction and Multiplication

c + 5 = 7. Write original equation. -3

-6 + 5 = 7. Substitute -6 for c.-3

2 + 5 = 7. Simplify.

7 = 7 Add

Solution for c = -6
