Two Step Equations

Solve for x

Solve for a

Solve for x

Solve for b

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.

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

Level 3

Identify the steps to solve for b

• 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

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

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 y.

-15 = -4y + 5

• y = -5

• y = 5

• y = -24

• y = -16

• y = 80
