Solving One-Step and Two-Step Equations

Translate the statement into an equation:

Five less than a number is 6

• n - 5 = 6

• 5 - n = 6

• 6 - 5 = 1

What is the solution of 6d = 24

• d = 4

• d = 5

• d = 18

• d = 144

Which equation has x=9 as a solution

• 4 + x = 12
• 5x = 45
• 2x = 20
• x + 7 = 26

x + 12 = -20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

u/4=12

• u = 3

• u = 8

• u = 16

• u = 48

Solve:

-4x = 24

• x = 6

• x = -6

• x = 20

• x = 28

Translate the sentence into an equation:

The product of a number and two-thirds is 24.

• 2/3 + x = 24

• 2/3 x = 24

• 3/2 x = 24

• x + 2/3 = 24

Translate the statement into an equation:
6 less than twice a number is 4

• 2n - 6 = 4
• 6 - 2n = 4

Two more than 4 times a number is -18.

• 4x + 2 = -18

• 2x + 4 = -18

• 18 = 4x + 2

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.
