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 to solve the equation 9 = 2s + 1?

Back

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

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

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of s.

Front

Solve for s: 9 = 2s + 1

Back

s = 4

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation -4 = 2t - 2?

Back

Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 2t = -2?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of t.

Front

Solve for t: -4 = 2t - 2

Back

t = -1

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation -6w + 1 = -11?

Back

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation -6w = -12?

Back

Divide both sides by -6 to find the value of w.

Front

Solve for w: -6w + 1 = -11

Back

w = 2
