Solving Two-Step Equations with Fraction Coefficient

An equation that contains two operations

• Distributive Property

• Simplest form

• Inverse operations

• Two-Step Equations

• Constant

Solve: x/2 = -10

• 5

• 20

• 3

• -20

p/14 = -19

• p = -266

• p = -5

• p = -33

• p = -1  5/14

When I solve a problem with a fractional coefficient, I

• multiply by the same fraction

• divide by the number on the opposite side of the equation

• multiply by the inverse of the coefficient

• leave the problem as it is. It is obviously not a solvable problem

What is the first step to solving this problem?

• multiplied both sides by reciprocal of coefficient

• Divide both sides by –3.

• changed coefficient to improper fraction

• 

• none of the above
