Group 3: 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 3y + 7 = 22?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What operation do you perform to isolate the variable in the equation 12g - 5 = 19?

Back

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

Front

How do you solve for g in the equation 12g = 24?

Back

Divide both sides by 12.

Front

What is the next step after simplifying the equation 2/5 h + 6 = 8?

Back

Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What operation is needed to solve the equation 5x = 15?

Back

Divide both sides by 5.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 11 - 3x = 44?

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable means to manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side and all other terms are on the opposite side.

Front

What is the purpose of performing inverse operations in solving equations?

Back

Inverse operations are used to undo the effects of operations applied to the variable, allowing us to isolate it.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 3y + 7 = 22 after performing the first step?

Back

y = 5.
