Solving Two-Step Equations

The video tutorial covers solving two-step equations by isolating the variable using inverse operations. It provides examples such as 3X + 4 = 10, 13 = 5X - 2, 2X - 3 = 5, -27 + 3X = -12, and 21 = 6X - 3. Each example demonstrates the process of using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to isolate the variable and solve the equation.

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

• Isolate the variable on one side

• Divide both sides by a number

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the variable

In the equation 3X + 4 = 10, what operation should be performed first?

• Add 4 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

After subtracting 4 from both sides in the equation 3X + 4 = 10, what is the next step?

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Divide both sides by 3

• Add 4 to both sides

• Subtract 3 from both sides

In the equation 13 = 5X - 2, what should be added to both sides first?

• 13

• X

• 2

• 5

What is the result of dividing both sides by 5 in the equation 15 = 5X?

• X = 5

• X = 1

• X = 15

• X = 3

In the equation 2X - 3 = 5, what is the first step to isolate X?

• Add 3 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

After adding 3 to both sides in the equation 2X - 3 = 5, what is the next step?

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Add 2 to both sides

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

In the equation -27 + 3X = -12, what should be added to both sides first?

• 12

• 27

• X

• 3

What is the result of dividing both sides by 3 in the equation 15 = 3X?

• X = 15

• X = 3

• X = 5

• X = 1

In the equation 21 = 6X - 3, what should be added to both sides first?

• 6

• X

• 3

• 21
