Unit 2 Reflection

Introduction
In Unit 2, we learned how to solve equations, such as one step, two step, and multistep.
Each equation had a variable, x, and we had to solve, factor, and elvaluate expressions.
One Step Equations
Two Step Equations
Multistep Equations
In a multistep equation, there are more than two steps. You also have to solve it in order. The steps are:
- Distribute
- Combine like terms
- Multiply and divide
- Add and subtract
You first have to distribute. You multiply the 4 and x and 4 and 6. Then you rewrite the rest of the problem exactly so there is no mistakes. The problem so far is 4x+ 24-11=25. The next step is to combine like terms. 24-11 contains numbers of like terms. So you solve that and you get 13. You rewrite the problem and it is 4x+13=25. Now it is a two step equation. You subtract the constant, which is 13 by itself on both sides, which leaves you with 4x=25. And since we want to know the value of just one x, we divide 4x by 4 on both sides which leaves us with x=3.
