This lesson explains the steps of solving linear equations with brackets. From simplifying the expressions with brackets on both sides of the equal sign; identifying, rearranging and collecting like terms to isolating for the unknown variable by dividing by its coefficient.

In this lesson you will see a concrete example of how to solve an equation that contains brackets, does not initially look like a linear equation, but simplifies to it.

Practice exercises will help you master the skills required for solving linear equations with brackets and multi-step equations.
