Solving Two-Step Algebra Word Problems

What is the first step in solving a word problem involving a two-step linear equation?

• Distribute constants

• Move variables to the right

• Combine like terms

• Identify the unknown variable

In the given problem, what does the variable X represent?

• Number of people

• Parking cost

• Total cost

• Cost per ticket

What is the total amount spent by Brittany's friends?

• $200

• $10

• $190

• $38

How much did each person pay for their ticket?

• $200

• $38

• $190

• $10

What is the equation set up to solve the problem?

• 10X + 38 = 200

• 200 = 38X + 10

• 38 + 10X = 200

• 38X + 10 = 200

What is the first step in solving the equation 38X + 10 = 200?

• Multiply both sides by 38

• Add 10 to both sides

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 38

After subtracting 10 from both sides, what is the resulting equation?

• 38X = 200

• 38X = 190

• 38X = 180

• 38X = 210

What is the final step to isolate the variable X?

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 38

• Multiply both sides by 38

• Add 10 to both sides
