Equations With More Than One Step

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3
• c = 6
• c = 7
• c = 18

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

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

• Add 3 to both sides
• Subtract 11 from both sides
• Add 11 to both sides
• Divide 3 on both sides.

The goal of solving two-step equations is to:

• francine
• Find the coefficient 
• Find the value of the variable

2.     2x + 6 = 14

• x = 4
• x = 10
• x = -4
• x = 3

10.    x / 2  - 5 = 3

• x = -2
• x = 2
• x = 16
• x = 8

6p - 5 =13

• 12
• 15
• 3
• -3

15 = 2a + 7

• 2
• 4
• 12
• 14

x/5 - 13 = 20

• 145
• 165
• 180
• 190

12 = 4 - 4x

• 10
• 8
• 4
• 2
