Solving 2-Step Equations (The Deets)

2y + 4 = 10

What is the first step in solving the equation?

• Add 4 to each side

• Subtract 4 from each side

• Subtract 2y from each side

• Divide each side by 2y

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

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

The objective when solving an equation is to....

• isolate the variable.

• check the solution.

• guess and check.

• combine like terms.

-5t + 9 = 24

What is happening to the variable t?

• Subtracting 5 and adding 9.

• Multiplying by -5 and adding 9.

• Dividing -5 and subtracting 9/

2x -7 = -23

What are the correct steps to solve this equation?

• Add 7 and divide by 2.

• Add 7 to both sides and divide by 2 on both sides.

• Subtract 7 from both sides and multiply by 2 on both sides.

x - 62 = 123
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side. 
• Subtract 62 from each side.
• Multiply each side by 62.
• Add 123 to each side.

Solve for c.

c - 2 = 0

• Cannot solve for c.

• c = -2

• c = 2

• c = 0

Solve for w.

w + 6 = 6

• w = 12

• w = -12

• w = 0

• w = 36
