2+Step+Equations

Definition / Summary / How To / Steps

//**Definition:**// A two-step equation is an equation in which there are two steps, and two operations in which you must find out the value of the variable.

//**How To:**// For a two-step algebraic expression, there are a few steps. First, starting with your number sentence, you will box the number with the variable (**2x** - 3 = 5). This section will not be needed until further notice. Next, you will circle the operation, and draw a line between the equals sign (-3 = 5). Now you will turn the operation into its opposite (+) and, in this situation, add 3 to each side. Since -3 and +3 cancel each other out, you will now focus on the other side of the equation (5+3), which will equal 8 for this example. Then you will bring down that answer, and the boxed variable and number (2x). To find the answer for a multiplication, like this demonstration,, you will then divide the number (2) that you have boxed by the number (8) that you have brought down to find x (4). For division you will divide the concluded number by the number from the boxed variable and number, to get your final answer.
