2 Step Equations

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that requires two steps to isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign. To solve a two-step equation, you first locate the variable, then use the inverse operation on both sides of the equation, showing the answer. Examples show adding or subtracting the same number to both sides of an equation preserves equality.

Example: In the equation 3x – 2 = 16, notice that the variable is being

multiplied and has a term being subtracted. To isolate the variable, we


need to add 2 to both sides and then divide both sides by 3.

What is a two step equation?


A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that takes you two
steps to solve. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by
itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the equal sign.

To solve a two step equation:


1. Locate the variable in the equation.
2. Use the inverse (opposite) operation on both sides of the equation.
3. Show your answer.
4. 9 = x – 12.
5. 4 = x – 9.
We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting,
multiplication and division. If we add the same number to both sides of
an equation, both sides will remain equal.
