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. It typically involves addition or subtraction followed by multiplication or division.

Front

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

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation: 3x - 5 = 20?

Back

Add 5 to both sides.

Front

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

Back

Isolating the variable means manipulating 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 the same operation on both sides of an equation?

Back

Performing the same operation on both sides maintains the equality of the equation.

Front

How do you solve the equation: 5b - 6 = 24?
