Why should solving multi-step equations be completely boring!?!?! This puzzle has 10 multi-step equations (with fractions that must be cleared), whose solutions provide clues to a word phrase. (Word phrase uncovered is: You cannot win if you do not try).

*** NEW *** completely worked out solutions (4 scanned pages) included at the end of the document.

Includes a version to print one per page, a version to print 2 per page (saving ink!) and TWO MODIFIED VERSIONS that include multiple choice answers to use with appropriate students.

Solution is included.

CCSS.Math.Content.8.EE.C.7a Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-REI.A.1 Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.
