How do you isolate the variable x in the equation x - 1 = 2?

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Add 1 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 1 from both sides

What does 'one less than a number is two' translate to in an equation?

• x - 1 = 2

• x + 1 = 2

• x * 1 = 2

• x / 1 = 2

What does 'twice a number is four' mean in terms of an equation?

• 2 + x = 4

• 2 - x = 4

• 2 / x = 4

• 2 * x = 4
