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 how they are applied.

Front

Solve the equation: 6p - 5 = 13

Back

p = 3

Front

Solve the equation: 3c + 5 = 23

Back

c = 6

Front

Solve the equation: 22 = 3e + 7

Back

e = 5

Front

Solve the equation: 9 + 3x = 10

Back

x = 1/3

Front

Solve the equation: 15 = 2a + 7

Back

a = 4

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 2x + 4 = 12?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 2x = 8?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.

Front

What does it mean to 'balance' an equation?

Back

Balancing an equation means keeping both sides equal by performing the same operation on both sides.
