Solving Two-Step Equations

39-12w= 7-16w

• w = 8

• w = -8

•  w = -32

12 + 6x - 7x = 3x - 2x

• 6

• -16

• -5

• 4

What was done to solve the equation?

• add 8 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5

• add 8 to both sides, then divide both sides by 40

• subtract 8 from both sides, then divide both sides by 5

• subtract 8 from both sides, then multiply both sides by 5

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

Solve -4x + 1 = 21

• x=120

• x=5

• x=30

• x=-5

Solve 8 = 4v + 12

• -1

• 1

• 0

• -10

Solve the following two-step equation

2x - 14 = 34

• x = 10

• x = 48

• x = 40

• x = 24

What is the first step you would do to solve the following equation?

2x - 14 = 34

• Add 14 to both sides

• Subtract 14 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Combine like terms

What value for x makes the following equation true?

12x + 4x = 64

• x = 4

• x = 16

• x = 8

• x = -4

Using the "Cover-Up" method (to solve without showing your work), you would cover up which term first?

5x + 3 = 28

• +3

• 5x

• 28

• =
