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

How do you isolate a variable in a two-step equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform the inverse operations in the reverse order of operations.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 4x + 22 = -34?

Back

Subtract 22 from both sides to get 4x = -56.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 4x + 22 = -34?

Back

Divide both sides by 4 to find x = -14.

Front

Solve the equation 2d + 7 = 9.

Back

d = 1.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 11 = 3z + 5?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to get 6 = 3z.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 11 = 3z + 5?

Back

Divide both sides by 3 to find z = 2.

Front

Solve the equation x/5 - 13 = 20.

Back

x = 165.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 9 + 3x = 10?

Back

Subtract 9 from both sides to get 3x = 1.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 9 + 3x = 10?

Back

Divide both sides by 3 to find x = 1/3.
