Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that requires two operations to solve for the variable.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 4x + 7 = 23?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 4x = 16?

Back

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x.

Front

Solve for x: 4x + 7 = 23.

Back

x = 4.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation -4 = 2t - 2?

Back

Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 2t = -2?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for t.

Front

Solve for t: -4 = 2t - 2.

Back

t = -1.

Front

Solve for x: 9 + 3x = 10.

Back

x = \frac{1}{3}.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 3c + 5 = 23?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 3c = 18?

Back

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for c.
