Solving and Writing 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: 3c + 5 = 23?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

Solve for x: 4x + 7 = 23.

Back

x = 4.

Front

What does 'inverse operations' mean in solving equations?

Back

Inverse operations are operations that undo each other, such as addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.

Front

Solve for a: -3a + 8 = 14.

Back

a = -2.

Front

What is the second step in solving the equation: 2x + 5 = 15?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides.

Front

Solve for c: 3c + 5 = 23.

Back

c = 6.

Front

What is the purpose of using opposite operations when solving equations?

Back

To isolate the variable and find its value.

Front

Solve for x: 2x - 4 = 10.

Back

x = 7.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 5x + 10 = 35?

Back

x = 5.
