Solving 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 5b - 6 = 24?

Back

Add 6 to both sides.

Front

What is the second step in solving the equation 5b = 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 5.

Front

Solve for x: 3x - 5 = 4

Back

x = 3

Front

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

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Front

Solve for k: 7k - 14 = 42

Back

k = 8

Front

What operation is performed to isolate the variable in the equation 5x - 8 = 32?

Back

Add 8 to both sides.

Front

What is the final step in solving the equation 5x = 40?

Back

Divide both sides by 5.

Front

What does it mean to 'isolate the variable'?

Back

To isolate the 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 solution to the equation 2x + 6 = 14?

Back

x = 4
