Solving Two-Step Equations in Word Problems

The video tutorial covers solving word problems using twep equations. It begins with an introduction to twep equations, explaining the importance of setting up equations with constants and variables. The tutorial then walks through several examples, including calculating the number of students per bus, determining the cost of pencils, finding consecutive numbers that sum to a specific value, and calculating the number of friends based on bouncy balls given away. Each problem is solved step-by-step, emphasizing the use of subtraction, division, and understanding constants.

What is the first step in solving a tweep equation word problem?

• Underline the different numbers in the problem

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Divide both sides by the same number
