Solution

I see the multi-step equations worksheet in the uploaded image. Let me solve the equations one by one. I'll show you step-by-step solutions.

1. 5(2x7)+2x=915(-2x - 7) + 2x = -91

Step 1: Distribute 55: 10x35+2x=91-10x - 35 + 2x = -91

Step 2: Combine like terms: 8x35=91-8x - 35 = -91

Step 3: Add 35 to both sides: 8x=56-8x = -56

Step 4: Divide by 8-8: x=7x = 7


2. x+3(1+5x)=115x + 3(1 + 5x) = 115

Step 1: Distribute 33: x+3+15x=115x + 3 + 15x = 115

Step 2: Combine like terms: 16x+3=11516x + 3 = 115

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides: 16x=11216x = 112

Step 4: Divide by 1616: x=7x = 7


3. 2x+5=33x-2x + 5 = 3 - 3x

Step 1: Add 3x3x to both sides: x+5=3x + 5 = 3

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides: x=2x = -2


4. 5x7=3x+55x - 7 = 3x + 5

Step 1: Subtract 3x3x from both sides: 2x7=52x - 7 = 5

Step 2: Add 7 to both sides: 2x=122x = 12

Step 3: Divide by 22: x=6x = 6


5. 5(6x3)=10+5x5(6x - 3) = 10 + 5x

Step 1: Distribute 55: 30x15=10+5x30x - 15 = 10 + 5x

Step 2: Subtract 5x5x from both sides: 25x15=1025x - 15 = 10

Step 3: Add 15 to both sides: 25x=2525x = 25

Step 4: Divide by 2525: x=1x = 1


6. 6x3=3(x4)6x - 3 = 3(x - 4)

Step 1: Distribute 33: 6x3=3x126x - 3 = 3x - 12

Step 2: Subtract 3x3x from both sides: 3x3=123x - 3 = -12

Step 3: Add 3 to both sides: 3x=93x = -9

Step 4: Divide by 33: x=3x = -3


7. 2(x10)=2(4x2)+2x2(x - 10) = 2(4x - 2) + 2x

Step 1: Distribute 22: 2x20=8x4+2x2x - 20 = 8x - 4 + 2x

Step 2: Combine like terms on the right: 2x20=10x42x - 20 = 10x - 4

Step 3: Subtract 2x2x from both sides: 20=8x4-20 = 8x - 4

Step 4: Add 4 to both sides: 16=8x-16 = 8x

Step 5: Divide by 88: x=2x = -2


Let me know if you'd like me to clarify any steps or further explain!
Here are 5 follow-up questions for you to explore:

  1. How can we check our solution for each equation?
  2. What happens if there are no solutions to an equation?
  3. What if an equation simplifies to an identity like 0=00 = 0?
  4. Can you create a multi-step equation with a fraction?
  5. Why is combining like terms an essential step in solving equations?

Tip: Always double-check by substituting your solution back into the original equation!
