Algebra 2 Solving Equations

The goal of solving two-step equations is to:

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

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

Solve:
3(x - 2) = 18

• 6.7
• 4
• 8
• -4

What is the first step in solving 
3x - 2 = -5?

• Subtracting 2 from each side
• Adding 2 to each side
• Multiplying by 3 on each side
• Dividing by 3 on each side

Solve:
6(5x - 3) + 2 = 14

• 2
• .5
• -1
• 1

Solve:
2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)

• 1.2
• 6
• -6
• 7.5

True or False:  In order to solve the equation below, you would add 6 to each side then multiply by 8 on each side.
g/8- 6 = -12

• true
• false

Solve for b:
 3(b - 4) = -3

• b = 3
• b = -3
• b = 5
• b = -5

Solve for x:

2x - 3 = 1

• x = 3

• x = 2

• x = 1

• x = -2
