To solve a multi step equation follow these steps:› Perform the distributive property › Combine all like terms › Use inverse operations to move the

variables on one side and the numbers on the opposite side of the equal or inequality sign.

› Solve for the variable

2(p + 3) = 101. 2p + 6 = 102. There are no

like terms to combine

3. 2p = 44. p = 2

1. Perform the distributive property

2. Combine like terms3. Move the variable

and numbers on different sides of the sign

4. Solve for the variable

5(2n – 6) = 20

9(4y – 1) – 26y + 11 = -18

1. 36y – 9 – 26y + 11 = -18

2. (36y – 26y) + (-9 + 11) = -18

10y + 2 = -18

3. 10y = -20

4. y = -2

1. Perform the distributive property

2. Combine like terms 3. Move the variable

and numbers on different sides of the sign

4. Solve for the variable

4(3s -1) – 8s + 6 > -10

-6 – 2c + 2 > 3c + 16 + 5c

1. There is not a distributive property

2. (-6 + 2)+(-2c) > (3c + 5c) +(16)

-4 – 2c > 8c + 16

3. -2c > 8c + 20 -10c > 20

4. c < -2

1. Perform distributive property

2. Combine like terms. 3. Move the

variable and numbers on different sides of the sign

4. Solve for the variable

8b + 4 + 2b – 5b = 7b + 10 – 4b
