Solving Two-Step Equations

Front

Solve for x: 3x - 5 = 4

Back

x = 3

Front

What was done to solve the equation: 5x - 8 = 32? (Line 1) 5x - 8 = 32 (Line 2) 5x = 40 (Line 3) x = 8

Back

add 8 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5

Front

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

Back

Subtract 11 from both sides

Front

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are:

Back

Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

Front

Solve: 8 = 4v + 12

Back

v = -1
