Solving a two step equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve a two-step algebraic equation using inverse operations. It begins by introducing the concept of two-step problems and the need for inverse operations to isolate the variable. The instructor then walks through a specific example, demonstrating each step in detail, including the use of subtraction and division to solve the equation. Finally, the solution is verified by substituting the value back into the original equation to ensure accuracy.

What is the main reason for calling it a two-step problem?

• It can be solved in two minutes.

• It has two possible solutions.

• It requires two different operations to solve.

• It involves two different variables.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation?

• Undo addition or subtraction.

• Add a constant to both sides.

• Multiply both sides by a number.

• Divide both sides by a number.

Which property is used to undo multiplication in a two-step equation?

• Addition property of equality

• Subtraction property of equality

• Multiplication property of equality

• Division property of equality

What is the value of X in the equation 3X + 1 = 16?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 7

How can you verify the solution of a two-step equation?

• By solving the equation again using a different method.

• By graphing the equation.

• By asking a friend to solve it.

• By checking if the solution satisfies the original equation.
