A few reminders for solving multi-step equations:
1) Start by simplifying both sides of the equals sign
A) use the distributive property to remove parentheses
B) combine like terms
2) Use addition and subtraction to collect variable terms on one side of the equal sign and constant terms on the other side of the equal sign.
3) Multiply or divide to isolate the variable.

Just a note about the name of this website MEZZO MATH.
I teach middle school math. MEZZO is another word for middle.
I believe that middle school years is an important time in a person's life.
The middle school years are time of bridging from dependent on other to independent.
I also believe that this the time when students are bridging from concrete math topics to abstract content. The math that is taught that I teach in 8th grade builds a foundation for al of the high school courses. So just like this is an important time in one's life, the math taught at this time is critical for future courses.

Hi -
My name is Lori Ann Walmer. I teach 8th grade mathematics and algebra at
Donegal Junior High School is Mount Joy, PA. My husband Dan and I have
been happily married for 24 years and during that time we were blessed with two
darling daughters, Jenna and Jamie. I love teaching middle school math
and being involved with our school community. I am a SAP team member and
I co-lead the Builder Club program. Outside of school, I enjoy spending
time with my family, particularly watching Jamie play soccer and Jenna swim.
We are also active at our church where I teach senior high Sunday school
and serve on the Worship team.
