Equations and Inequalities Quick Review
Quick guide to solving Equations and Inequalities
Tips:You solve two-step equations/inequalities by undoing one operations at a time.
1. First undo Addition/Subtraction (if the term is being added you subtract , if the term is being subtracted you add)
2. Second undo the Multiplication/Division (if the term is being added you subtract , if the term is being subtracted you add)

Remember equations have one solution and inequalities have a solution set (multiple
solutions)

Add 7 to both sides
Divide by 2 on both sides
11n Done!
Solving Multi-Step Equations
Remember combine like terms undo Addition/Subtraction the undo Multiplication/Division
2 7 9 15n n
7 7 11 22n 11 11
Add 7 to both sides
Divide by 11 on both sides
2n Done!
11 7 15n Combine like terms 2n and 9n
Solving Equations w/ Variable on both sides
2 7 15 9n n
7 7 11 22n 11 11
Add 7 to both sides
Divide by 11 on both sides
2n Done!
