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 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.

Front

Solve for c: 3c + 5 = 23

Back

c = 6
