Two Step Equation Solving

Solve   -3x + 5 = -16

• 9

• 8

• -7

• 7

x - 62 = 123
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side. 

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3

• c = 6

• c = 7

• c = 18

WRITE AN EQUATION Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

• 24-10=7x

• 7x- 24=10

• 7x+ 10=24

• 10+x=14

WRITE AN EQUATION
331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus?

• 331=7x+6

• 331=13x

• 331=6x+7

• 331-7=6x

WRITE AN EQUATION
You bought a $5 magazine and four
erasers. You spent a total of $25. How
much did each eraser cost?

• 5+x=25

• 5+4x=25

• 5x=25

• 23-5=4x

What operation would you perform first and then second when solving for m in the following equation?

10 + 7m = 17

• subtract 10, divide by 7

• divide by 7, subtract 10

• multiply by 7, add 10

• add 10, multiply by 7

Solve for a:

-3a + 8 = 14

• a = -2

• a = -7.5

• a = 2

• a = 6
