Give a example of a multi-step equation for each of the following solution

Here is the example.

Multi-step equation means before start solving equations, you need to isolate the variable terms and constant terms, then you have to combine the like terms.

Finally, you can solve the equation. This involves more than two steps.

Examples:

1) 2x + 3x + 5 = 20

Step 1: Isolate the variable terms and constants.

Subtract 5 on both sides, we get

2x + 3x + 5 - 5 = 20 -5

2x + 3x = 15

Step 2: Combine the like terms.

5x = 15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3.

2) 2(3x + 2) = 3(x - 1) + 4

Step 1: Use the distributive property and expand the given equation.

6x + 4 = 3x -3 + 4

Step 2: Isolate the variable terms and constants

Subtract 3x from both sides, we get

6x - 3x + 4 = 3x - 3x -3 + 4

3x + 4 = -3 + 4

Step 3: Simplify it.

3x + 4 = 1

Step 4: Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x + 4 - 4 = 1 - 4

3x = -3

Step 5: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = -3/3

x = -1.

Hope this will help you. :)

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
