Two Step Equations

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 9 = 2s + 1?

Back

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

Front

What is the second step to solve the equation 9 = 2s + 1 after isolating the variable term?

Back

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the variable.

Front

Solve for s: 9 = 2s + 1

Back

s = 4
