Solving Two-Step Equations

What is the first step in solving equations with two operations?

• Ignore one of the operations

• Focus on the operation that appears first

• Solve the equation as it is

• Use the order of operations in reverse

What is the key strategy in solving multi-step equations?

• Guessing the value of x

• Using the order of operations as it is

• Applying the order of operations in reverse

• Ignoring complex operations

In the equation 2x + 2 = 8, what operation should be undone first?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

• Multiplication

What is the result of x in the equation 2x + 2 = 8?

• 3

• 2

• 4

• 5

In the equation x/2 - 1 = 4, what is the first step to solve it?

• Add 1 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 1 from both sides

What does x equal in the equation x/2 - 1 = 4 after solving?

• 10

• 8

• 5

• 9

How does grouping affect solving equations?

• It introduces new operations

• It simplifies the equation

• It does not affect the solution

• It changes the order of operations

What is the correct solution for x in the equation with grouping (2(x + 2) = 8)?

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 2

What is the result of x in the equation with an implied group on the fraction line (x - 1)/2 = 4?

• 7

• 10

• 8

• 9

Why is it important to practice solving different two-step equations?

• To understand the concept of variables

• To improve calculation speed
