The goal of solving two-step equations is to:

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

x - 8 = -5 

• 13
• -13
• 3
• -3

Solve for x:
-6x + 1 = -11

• x = 2
• x = 1.2
• x = 12
• x = -2

Using the "opposite operation" to "undo" and isolate the variable when solving an equation is more commonly called...

• Inverse operations
• math
• variable
• PEMDAS

Solve 7k - 14 = 42

• 7

• -8

• 0

• 8

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.

• t = 20

• t = -20

• t = -40

• t = 40

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
