Solving Two-Step Equations with the Distributive Property

This video tutorial covers solving two-step equations using the distributive property. It introduces the 'Don't Call Me After Midnight' method and a shortcut called 'Distribute or Divide.' The tutorial also demonstrates solving equations with fractions and applies these techniques to real-world problems, such as calculating distances and arranging flowers.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation involving the distributive property?

• Moving variables to one side

• Combining like terms

• Distributing

• Adding or subtracting

After distributing, what should you do if there are no like terms to combine?

• Divide

• Check for errors

• Add or subtract

• Move the variables to one side

In the equation 3(x + 5) = 45, what is the value of x after solving?

• 5

• 10

• 15
