3(2x-4)=2(4x+3)
"One step at a time" is the most effective approach.
Does a multi-step equation sometimes, always, or never have a solution?
2n+4=66
2x3x2
well, an equation with one variable is a one step equation and an equation with more than 2 variables is a multi-step equation

3(2x-4)=2(4x+3)
It is 12=12/4-7=9
Start with the equation:x = 11 Then, to make the equation more complicated ("multi-step"), you can do different manipulations, always on both sides of the equation; for example: * Add some number to both sides * Multiply both sides by the same number * Square both sides, or apply some other function to both sides (note: this may introduce additional solutions, depending on the properties of the function applied)

One-step equation 3x=12 x-6=5 4/x=7 Multistep equation 3x+8=11 x/7+4=6 4x/7=2
it was invented by Peter Scrotch in 1834, he wanted to find a way to find a missing variable & that's when he made up the fact of multi-step equations. He pretty much actually didnt invent it : i just made this up.
In a two step equation, you need to do another step.
