Solving 2 Step Equations Effectively

Why is it important to practice two-step equations even if they seem easy?

• Because it helps in guessing the answers.

• Because it is a requirement for the next class.

• Because it will make solving more complex equations easier later.

• Because it helps in memorizing the steps.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation?

• Isolate the variable using addition or subtraction.

• Isolate the variable using multiplication or division.

• Check the answer.

• Guess the answer.

What should you do to both sides of the equation to keep it balanced?

• Do the same operation.

• Multiply by the same number.

• Add the same number.

• Subtract the same number.

In the equation 2x - 25 = -35, what is the first step to isolate x?

• Subtract 25 from both sides.

• Divide by 2 on both sides.

• Add 25 to both sides.

• Multiply by 2 on both sides.

After isolating the variable using addition or subtraction, what is the next step?

• Isolate the variable using multiplication or division.

• Rewrite the equation.

• Check the answer.

• Guess the answer.

In the equation n/2 + 17 = 23, what is the first step to isolate n?

• Divide by 2 on both sides.

• Add 17 to both sides.

• Subtract 17 from both sides.

• Multiply by 2 on both sides.

How do you handle a negative number in a two-step equation?

• Subtract the negative number.

• Ignore the negative sign.

• Add the opposite of the negative number.

• Multiply by the negative number.

What should you do if fractions are involved in a two-step equation?

• Multiply by the denominator.

• Convert fractions to decimals.

• Use a calculator if needed.

• Ignore the fractions.

In the problem 3n + 12 = 30, what is the value of n?

• 5

• 4
