A worksheet on solving multistep equations with brackets. The equations have one, two or three brackets and include using the distributive property, moving terms from the one side of the equation to the other and combining like terms. The equations use positive and negative integers.
There are 20 problems.
Detailed solutions are included.
Are your students struggling to solve multi-step equations because they get caught up in complicated fraction or decimal answers?
Help your students build rock-solid confidence with this Multi-Step Equations with Brackets and Integer Solutions Maths Worksheet! This no-prep, printable resource is designed to help students master expanding single brackets and collecting like terms without the frustration of messy decimal or fractional results. Because every single problem results in a clean, whole-number integer solution, students can easily self-check their work—if they calculate a fraction, they immediately know to go back and check their steps!
This resource is perfect for secondary school maths classrooms as a targeted practice worksheet, homework task, quick review session, or an easy-to-use cover lesson.
What’s Included:
- 20 Carefully Planned Problems: The worksheet is structured in clean practice blocks to give students plenty of space to show their working out.
- Complete Step-by-Step Answer Key: A fully worked-out solutions guide is included to save you hours of marking time and allow for easy student self-assessment.
Perfect For:
- Key Stage 3 (KS3): Year 7 (Extension/Advanced), Year 8, and Year 9 (Core practice).
- Key Stage 4 (KS4): GCSE Foundation students needing a targeted algebra skills refresher.
Skills Covered:
- Expanding expressions by multiplying out single brackets.
- Collecting and combining like terms.
- Isolating the variable using inverse operations to solve linear equations.
- Confidently working with positive and negative integers.
How to Use: Just print and go! This worksheet requires zero preparation, making it an excellent addition to your daily maths lessons, independent homework assignments, or emergency cover work folders.
