Solve each two-step equation. Show your work clearly.

1. Solve for x: 3x + 5 = 17

2. Solve for y: 2y - 9 = 11

3. Solve for a: (a/4) + 7 = 10

To solve the equation 4x - 8 = 20, the first step is to   8 from both sides, and the second step is to   by 4.

In the equation (m/3) + 6 = 12, the first operation to undo is   6 from both sides, followed by   by 3.

1. Which operation should you perform first to solve 5x - 3 = 12?

a

Multiply by 5

b

Subtract 3

c

Add 3

d

Divide by 5

2. What is the value of x in the equation (x/2) + 4 = 9?

a

5

b

10

c

26

d

13

1. To solve 3x + 1 = 7, your first step should be to subtract 1 from both sides.

T

True

F

False

Equations can be thought of as a balance. What operation would you perform to keep the scale balanced if you wanted to isolate the variable?
