One-Step, Two-Step and Multi-Step Linear Equations and Equation Word Problems

A collection of ten worksheets on solving linear equations and linear equation word problems.
There are three worksheets that include practice solving one-step, two-step and multi-step linear equations (one worksheet on each type of equations).
There are six worksheets on solving multi step equations using the distributive property. The equations have:
one bracket and the variable on the one side
two brackets and the variable on the one side
one or two brackets and the variable on both sides
There is one worksheet on solving problems by writing linear equations (one-step, two-step or multi-step). The students are required to write equations with one variable and then solve them to find the missing quantities.
Detailed solutions to all worksheets are included.
