Understanding Two-Step Equations

What is the primary concept to keep in mind when solving equations?

• Equations are like puzzles.

• Equations are like scales that must be balanced.

• Equations are like recipes with specific ingredients.

• Equations are like stories with a beginning and an end.

In a two-step equation, what should you address first?

• The exponent

• The coefficient

• The variable

• The constant

If you have the equation 3x - 4 = 11, what is the first step to solve for x?

• Divide both sides by 3

• Subtract 4 from both sides

• Add 4 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

What operation would you perform to isolate x in the equation 6x = 24?

• Divide both sides by 6

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 6

How do you handle an equation where x is divided by a number, such as x/5 = 6?

• Add 5 to both sides

• Subtract 5 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Divide both sides by 5

When x is on the right side of the equation, such as 14 = 7x, what should you do?

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Add 7 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 7

• Multiply both sides by 7

In the equation -2x = 7, what is the correct way to solve for x?

• Divide both sides by -2

• Multiply both sides by -2

• Add 2 to both sides

• Subtract 2 from both sides

What is the simplified fraction form of the solution to -2x = 7?

• 7/2

• 3.5

• -3.5

• -7/2
