Question

What is the difference between a two step equation and a multi-step equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

When solving a multi step equation, you use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, add, subtract), and you also use PEMDAS when solving a multi step inequality. However, inequalities are tricky in the fact that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the sign. And while normally there are 1 or 2 solutions to a multi step equation, in the form of x= #, you'll have the same thing, but with an inequality sign (or signs).

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that takes you two steps to solve. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.
