Question 1
1.
When solving two-step equations, always start with the __________.
coefficient (the number next to the variable)
constant (the number by itself)
answer (the number on the other side of the equal sign)
Question 2
2.
What should I do
FIRST
to solve this problem?
3x + 5 = -16
divide by 3 on each side
subtract 5 from each side
add 16 to each side
add 5 to each side
Question 3
3.
What should I do
FIRST
to solve this problem?
-7 + 5f = 23
divide by 5 on each side
subtract 7 from each side
subtract 23 from each side
add 7 to each side
Question 4
4.
What should I do
FIRST
to solve this problem?
-11 = 2y + 3
add 11 to each side
add 3 to each side
subtract 3 from each side
divide by 2 one each side
Question 5
5.
What are the steps I need to solve this problem?
2x + 5 = 21
subtract 5 from each side, then divide by 2 on each side
divide by 2 on each side, then subtract 5 from each side
subtract 5 from each side, then subtract 2 from each side
subtract 21 from each side, then divide by 2 on each side
