Solving Two-Step Algebra EquationsNow that you know all the rules for solving one-step equations, solving Each equation is going to be solved in two separate steps. Let's take a look: Notice that in order to get x on the left hand side by itself, (x = ) we need to remove the 3 and the 2. Therefore, this equation will involve two separate steps. Remember that you must use the opposite mathematical operation in order to remove a number from one side of an equation. There's one rule to remember when solving two-step equations:
Let's solve this example together. Notice how two separate steps are involved in solving this equation! Example 1
We'll look at another example similar to this one. Example 2
The next two examples will demonstrate how to solve two-step equations when the coefficient is a fraction or when you have a divisor. Let's take a look! Example 3
Example 4
Ok... one more example! This example involves an additional step before starting the two-step process. If you have any terms in the equation that are like terms, then you will want to combine those like terms first before solving. Let's take a look.... Example 5
