What is a Two-Step Equation?
  • An equation that has 2 numbers on the same side
    of the variable
  • 3x 7 13

3
Examples of Two-Step Equations
  1. 3x 5 16
  2. y 3 12
  3. 5n 4 6
  4. n 6 4

Steps for Solving Two-Step Equations
  1. Solve for any ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION on the
    variable side of equation by undoing the
    operation from both sides of the equation.
  2. Solve any MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION from
    variable side of equation by undoing the
    operation from both sides of the equation.

5
Opposite Operations
  • Addition ?
  • Subtraction

Multiplication ?
Division
6
REMEMBER, When Solving Equations We Always
  • Find the variable that needs to be alone.
  • Figure out what numbers we need to get rid of.
  • Whatever we do to one side, we must do to the
    other side to keep the equation balanced.

Ex. 1 Solve 4x 5 15
  • 4x 5 15
  • 5 5
  • 4x 20
  • 4 4
  • x 5

WAIT!How do you know what to get rid of first?
  • Pretend its a Party
  • First your friend leaves
  • Then your boyfriend or girlfriend leave
