In this video lesson, I will explain and model the five steps to solving any multi-step linear equation. We will solve equations by combining like terms, using distribution, properties of equality and inverse operations. A real world problem will be presented asking students to write and solve a multi-step equation. Student practice is embedded in the lesson and exemplar solutions are explained and modeled.

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the reasoning. Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method. Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
