Solving Two-Step Equations Concepts

The video tutorial explains a simple algorithm for solving two-step equations. It begins with identifying and isolating the variable, followed by using inverse operations for addition and subtraction, and then for multiplication and division. The tutorial concludes with verifying the solution to ensure accuracy.

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

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Divide both sides by the same number

• Circle the variable

Why is it important to circle the variable in a two-step equation?

• To check if the variable is positive

• To ensure the variable is on the left side

• To remember which variable to solve for

• To make the equation look neat

What is the purpose of using inverse operations in solving equations?

• To make the equation longer

• To isolate the variable

• To add more variables

• To change the equation's solution

When a number is added to a variable, what should you do to isolate the variable?

• Add the same number to both sides

• Divide both sides by the number

• Subtract the number from both sides

• Multiply both sides by the number

What is the first operation to consider when solving a two-step equation?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Exponentiation

• Addition or Subtraction

What does the subtraction property of equality allow you to do?

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Add the same number to both sides

• Subtract the same number from both sides

• Divide both sides by the same number
