Help your Years 7 to 9 students master multi-step algebra equations with this comprehensive, clearly structured study guide — covering combining like terms, the distributive property, variables on both sides, and special cases. Built around a clear step-by-step methodology, this guide teaches students not just how to solve equations — but why each step works, including the critical habit of checking answers by substituting back into the original equation. The guide includes a like and unlike terms comparison table, the distributive property with rules, examples and common mistakes, step-by-step solving for two-step equations, solving equations with variables on both sides, coverage of special cases including no solution and infinite solutions, a 6-step equation-solving checklist, and 6 practice problems with a full answer key. Perfect for classroom instruction, student revision, tutoring sessions, and international classrooms — the content is universally applicable with no curriculum-specific material. Three formats are included: a colour PDF ready to print, a printer-friendly black and white PDF ideal for class sets, and an editable DOCX so you can customise it for your students. For the black and white version, select Print in Greyscale or Black ink only in your printer driver settings to ensure only your black cartridge is used. This guide is part of the Open Latitude Algebra Series — three structured study guides covering the full algebra curriculum from Years 5 through 13. The Introduction to Algebra Study Guide covers variables, expressions and simple equations (Years 5–7). The Advanced Algebra Study Guide covers quadratics, systems of equations and functions (Years 10–13 / IGCSE / IB).
