Solving Two-Step Equations

This topic covers the concept of solving a one-variable equation in Two-Steps. This is done by using a division or multiplication operation, along with an addition or subtraction operation.

Topic: Two-Step Equations Using Division

  • A Two-Step equation has two different operations

  • Reverse the order of operations when solving equations that have more than one operation

  • For example, to solve 5x + 3 = 20, Subtract 3 and then divide by 5

Topic: Two Step Equations Using Multiplication

  • A Two-Step equation has two different operations

  • Reverse the order of operations when solving equations that have more than one operation

  • For example, to solve x/5 – 3 = 12, Add 3 and then multiply by 5
