Two-Step Equations: Explain the Steps!

coefficient (the number next to the variable)

constant (the number by itself)

answer (the number on the other side of the equal sign)

divide by 3 on each side

subtract 5 from each side

add 16 to each side

add 5 to each side

divide by 5 on each side

subtract 7 from each side

subtract 23 from each side

add 7 to each side

add 11 to each side

add 3 to each side

subtract 3 from each side

divide by 2 one each side

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

add 5 to each side, then divide by -2 on each side

divide by -2 on each side, then add 15 to each side

add 15 to each side, then divide by -2 on each side

subtract 15 from each side, then divide by -2 on each side

divide by 2 on each side, then add 4 on each side

add 4 to each side, then divide by 2 on each side

subtract 4 from each side, then divide by 2 on each side

subtract 6 from each side, then divide by 2 on each side
