What are Multi-Step Equations? 🤔
A **multi-step equation** is an algebraic equation that requires more than one operation to solve for the variable. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equals sign. We do this by using inverse operations to "undo" each step.
Remember the order of operations in reverse (SADMEP):
- **S**ubtraction / **A**ddition (undo these first)
- **D**ivision / **M**ultiplication (undo these next)
- **E**xponents (you probably won't see these yet)
- **P**arentheses (deal with these last, by distributing)
