Solving One and Two Step Equations

The video tutorial covers solving one and two-step equations, emphasizing the use of opposites and reverse order of operations. It includes examples of solving equations with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial also features word problems, such as calculating the remaining flour needed for baking and determining the number of students per bus on a field trip. The video aims to enhance understanding of basic algebraic concepts and problem-solving skills.

What is the first step in solving one and two-step equations?

• Guessing the value of X

• Remembering the order of operations

• Remembering opposites and working from the outside in

• Using the same operation on both sides

In the equation x - 8 = 1, what operation should be performed first?

• Add 8 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 8

• Subtract 8 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 8

What is the solution to the equation -4x = -28?

• x = -7

• x = 7

• x = -28

• x = 28

Lisa is baking bread and needs a total of 10 cups of flour. She has already put in 6 cups. How many more cups does she need?

• 4 cups

• 3 cups

• 2 cups

• 5 cups

In the equation x / 3 + 2 = 5, what is the first step to isolate x?

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

• Add 2 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

What is the solution to the equation x / 3 + 2 = 5?

• x = 6

• x = 9

• x = 3

• x = 1

In the equation -3P - 2 = -29, what is the first step to isolate P?

• Divide both sides by -3

• Subtract 2 from both sides

• Add 2 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by -3

What is the solution to the equation -3P - 2 = -29?

• P = -9

• P = 9

• P = -27

• P = 27

There are 400 students on a field trip with 5 buses filled completely and 25 students in a van. How many students are on each bus?

• 60

• 50

• 70

• 75

What is the equation used to find the number of students on each bus if there are 400 students in total, 5 buses, and 25 students in a van?

• 5P + 25 = 400

• 5P = 400

• 5P - 25 = 400

• P + 25 = 400
