Solving One and Two-Step Equations Challenge

This video tutorial covers solving equations, focusing on one-step and two-step equations. It begins with an introduction to the basic concepts and progresses to more complex problems. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of organizing work and using systematic processes to solve equations. It includes examples of equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and provides strategies for handling constants and variables. The video concludes with practice problems for viewers to solve independently.

What is the first step in solving equations?

• Draw a line through the equal sign

• Subtract variables from both sides

• Add constants to both sides

• Isolate the variable

How do you eliminate a constant added to a variable?

• Divide by the constant

• Add the constant

• Multiply by the constant

• Subtract the constant

What operation is used to eliminate a variable being divided by a number?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

• Multiplication

In a two-step equation, what should you do first?

• Multiply both sides by the variable

• Isolate the variable immediately

• Move constants to one side

• Divide by the coefficient of the variable

How do you solve 3x - 5 = 10?

• x = 5

• x = 15

• x = 3

• x = 10

What is the result of 4x + 1 = 9?

• x = 2

• x = 4

• x = 8

• x = 10

What is the solution to x/3 = -1 when solving a two-step equation?

• x = -3

• x = 1

• x = 3

• x = -1

How do you solve equations with division differently?

• By adding first

• By subtracting first

• By multiplying first

• By dividing first

When solving (x - 4)/2 = 5, what is the first step?

• Divide both sides by 2

• Add 4 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Subtract 4 from both sides

What is the final solution for (x - 4)/2 = 5?

• x = 9

• x = 4

• x = 10

• x = 14
