An equation that needs more than two steps to solve for the variable is known as a multi-step equation. Generally, we use the same operation on both sides of the equation. These equations are somewhat complicated as well, as they involve many steps to get the solution. More often than not, the word "problem" leads to multi-step equations.
Things to keep in mind while solving multi-step equation practice worksheet:
Here is an example of how to solve the multi-step equation problem.
Assume Sam is six years younger than Tomy. After 10 years, the sum of their ages is 36. Then how old is Tomy now?
Step 1: Let Tomy’s age be x years old. Then Sam’s age = x - 6 years. After 10 years, the sum of their ages is 36. i.e.,
(x + 10) + (x - 6 + 10) = 36
Step 2: Combine similar terms.
2x + 14 = 36
On removing 14 from both sides,
The result is that 2x = 12
Dividing both sides by 2,
Thus, Sam's age now is 6 years old.
