👉 Learn how to solve multi-step equations with variable on both sides of the equation. An equation is a statement stating that two values are equal. A multi-step equation is an equation which can be solved by applying multiple steps of operations to get to the solution.
To solve a multi-step equation, we first combine like terms by taking the variable terms to one side of the equality sign and the constant terms to the other side of the equation and evaluate them, then we can isolate the variable by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable.

I would really like to thank you for these videos, I just started 8th grade and decided to convince my math teacher to put me in algebra 1 so that I could get ahead for high school, And I've been having a hard time balancing sports and studying as well as homework and other daily activities, But these videos are a lifesaver so thank you a lot.

Shouldn't you always get the variable on the left side? That way the answer should be without the minus: x = 20/51

@bennysmalls1275 11 месяцев назад

Say we had an equation with 1/5 1/3 1/4 and 1/2. You multiply all those denominators together you get 120. But the LCM or LCD is actually 60. Does it really matter that we use the LOWEST multiple or just a common multiple?

depends on the question, does it ask for LCM or LCD?
