Solving Two Step Equations with Variables on One Side

3a + 9 + 4a = 2

• -1

• 1

• no solution

• -7

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8

• 2

• 10

• 4

• -4 

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

3x + 2(4x - 4) = 3

• 4

• 3

• 2

• 1

After moving the constant to one side in the following equation, what would be the result: 70x + 48 = -22

• 70x = 70

• 70x = -70

• 70x + 70 = 0

What is the firs step in solving for the variable?

• Distributive property

• Combine Like Terms

• Move the variables to the same side

• Solve for the variable

Solve for f:
f - 4 = 6f + 26

• f = -5

• f = 5

• f = 6

• f = -6
