Solving two- step Equations

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that requires two operations to solve for the variable.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 12 - 6y = 24?

Back

Add 6y to both sides to isolate the variable term.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

You perform inverse operations to move constants and coefficients away from the variable.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

Subtraction.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

Division.

Front

In the equation 2x - 3 = 1, what is the first step to solve for x?

Back

Add 3 to both sides.

Front

What do you do after isolating the variable term in a two-step equation?

Back

You perform the inverse operation to solve for the variable.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 6m = 12?

Back

m = 2, found by dividing both sides by 6.

Front

When solving -3x + 11 = 44, what is the first operation you should perform?

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

What is a constant in an equation?

Back

A constant is a fixed value that does not change, such as numbers without variables.
