Multi-Step Equations Worksheets



Objective: I know how to solve multi-step equations.


To solve a multi-step equation, we would start by trying to simplify the equation by combining like terms and using the distributive property whenever possible.

Consider the equation 2( x + 1) – x = 5. First, we will use the distributive property to remove the parenthesis and then we can combine like terms and the isolate the variable.


Look at the lesson on Solving Multi-Step Equations if you need help on how to solve multi-step equations.

Solve each equation.

13x – 5 = 10x + 7, x =

x + 6 = 2x – 8, x =

8x + 6 = 3x – 4, x =

3x + 4 = 4x – 3, x =

4(x – 2) = 12, x =

6(2x – 5) = 4x + 2, x =

9x – 4 – 6x = 2(x + 1) – 5, x =

8x – 3(x – 1) = 4(x + 2), x =

14 – (6x – 5) = 5(2x – 1) – 4x, x =

6 – 2(x – 2) = 6(x + 3), x =
