2-Problem Challenge: Multi-Step Linear Equations

Description

This worksheet includes two multi-step linear equation problems designed as a constructed-response task. Students solve equations involving distribution, combining like terms, and rational coefficients, and must show their work.

This resource is ideal for:

Intervention groups
Small-group instruction
Formative assessment
Exit tickets
Progress monitoring

The limited number of problems allows teachers to focus on student reasoning, accuracy, and problem-solving strategies rather than speed or volume.

✨ Skills Addressed

Solving multi-step linear equations
Using distribution
Combining like terms
Working with decimals
Algebraic reasoning

👩‍🏫 Best For

Upper elementary (advanced)
Middle school math
Math intervention
Special education support

📌 Teacher Note

Intended as a constructed-response or problem-solving task, not a multiple-choice assessment

CCSS6.EE.A.3

Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + 𝘹) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3𝘹; apply the distributive property to the expression 24𝘹 + 18𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4𝘹 + 3𝘺); apply properties of operations to 𝘺 + 𝘺 + 𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 3𝘺.

CCSS7.EE.B.3

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.

CCSS7.EE.B.4

Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
