Two Step Equations

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that requires two operations to solve for the variable.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 4x + 7 = 23?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 4x = 16?

Back

Divide both sides by 4 to find the value of x.

Front

Solve for x: 4x + 7 = 23

Back

x = 4

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 2n + 10 = -2?

Back

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 2n = -12?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of n.

Front

Solve for n: 2n + 10 = -2

Back

n = -6

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation -4 = 2t - 2?

Back

Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation -2 = 2t?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of t.

Front

Solve for t: -4 = 2t - 2

Back

t = -1
