Multi-Step Equations — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 9 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Solve each equation for x.
How to solve
Distribute to clear any parentheses and combine like terms on each side. Move the x-terms to one side and the numbers to the other with inverse operations, then divide by the coefficient of x. Check by substituting your answer.
Example
4(x - 5) = -24
Answer: -1
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Distribute 3: 3x − 3 = −12. Add 3 to both sides: 3x = −12 + 3 = −9. Divide both sides by 3: x = −9 ÷ 3 = −3. So x = −3.
✓ Correct!
