1. Solving Two Step Algebraic Equations

2. How do you solve if there is more than one step?
First, you have to get all the numbers on one side of the equation and all the variables on the other. +7 +7
You need to get rid of the -7 by doing the opposite function (+7)
Calculate and rewrite the equation.
Now do the second step. Divide both sides by 3 3 3
3’s cancel
Rewrite and solve

3. Solve
- 3
- 3
Calculate and rewrite the equation
3’s cancel

4. Solve
+ 3
+ 3
5 x
x 5 2 2

5. The first step in solving this equation is:
Add 4 to both sides of the equation
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

6. Correct! Add 4 to both sides of the equation.
