Objective: Solve multiple step linear equations by isolating the variable.
A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form ax+b=0, in which a and b are both constants, and a does not equal zero. There are other types of equations beside linear equations, but you will not encounter some of these until later in Algebra 1.
To solve multi-step linear equations, we again must isolate the variable; there are simply more steps involved in the process. Watch the video below.
Equations that contain fractions or decimals can often be challenging to solve. Watch the video below to learn how to clear fractions in order to solve equations containing fractions more easily.
