Two-Step Equations

The video tutorial explains how to use verbal models to translate words into mathematical equations. It covers identifying keywords for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial demonstrates translating verbal models into equations and solving them step-by-step. It also addresses complex verbal models, emphasizing the importance of understanding the order of operations and correctly positioning terms in equations.

Which of the following words is typically associated with addition in verbal models?

• Difference

• Product

• Sum

• Quotient

In the equation 8 * X + 6 = 70, what does the number 8 represent?

• A constant

• An exponent

• A coefficient

• A variable

What is the first step in solving the equation 8 * X + 6 = 70?

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 8

• Divide both sides by 8

In the verbal model '3 less than four times a number is equal to 5', what does 'less than' imply?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is the solution to the equation 4B - 3 = 5?

• B = 4

• B = 2

• B = 3

• B = 1
