2 Step Equations with Integers

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 reverse order: first eliminate the constant term, then divide or multiply to solve for the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: 2x + 3 = 11

Back

x = 4

Front

Solve the equation: 5x - 2 = 18

Back

x = 4

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation: 3x + 7 = 16?

Back

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

Front

Solve the equation: 4x - 5 = 11

Back

x = 4

Front

What does it mean to check your solution in an equation?

Back

Checking your solution means substituting the value back into the original equation to verify that both sides are equal.
