Therefore, a multi-step equation can be defined as an algebraic expression that requires several operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and exponentiation to be solved. Multi-step equations are solved by applying similar techniques used in solving one-step and two-step equations.<\/p>\n<p>Like we saw in one-step and two-step equations, the main objective of solving multi-step equations is to isolate the unknown variable on either the RHS or LHS of the equation while keeping a constant term on the opposite side. The strategy of obtaining a variable with a coefficient of one entails several processes.<\/p>\n<p>The Law of equations is the most important rule you should remember while solving any linear equation. This implies that, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the opposite of the equation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;headingnew&#8221;]Rules[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]1. Eliminate any grouping symbols such as parentheses, braces, and brackets by employing the distributive property of multiplication over addition.<br \/>\n2. Simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms.<br \/>\n3 Isolate a variable on any side of the equation depending on your preference.<br \/>\n4. A variable is isolated, performing the two opposite operations, such as addition and subtraction followed by multiplication and division.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;headingnew&#8221;]Example[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong><span style=\"color: #16a085;\">Solve for k.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>3(k &#8211; 2) + k = 5(k + 3) &#8211; 9<\/strong><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;headingnew&#8221;]Solution[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]3(k &#8211; 2) + k = 5(k + 3) &#8211; 9<\/p>\n<p>3k &#8211; 6 + k = 5k + 15 &#8211; 9<\/p>\n<p>4k &#8211; 6 = 5k + 6<\/p>\n<p>4k &#8211; 5k = 6 + 6<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: red;\"> <strong>-k = 12<\/strong><\/span> or <span style=\"color: red;\"> <strong>k = -12<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;headingnew&#8221;]Practice Solving Multi-Step Equations[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;boxxborder&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Practice Problem 1<\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #16a085;\">Solve for c. <\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n7(c &#8211; 5) &#8211; 3c = 4(2c + 3) &#8211; 11<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/en.oryxlearning.com\/question\/maths\/8th-grade\/solve-multi-step-equations\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5329 size-full\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/oryxlearning.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/5-22.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"104\" height=\"38\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2159&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/en.oryxlearning.com\/question\/maths\/8th-grade\/solve-multi-step-equations&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;boxxborder&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\n<h5 style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Practice Problem 2<\/h5>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #16a085;\">Solve for d.
