How to solve two-step equations?

There are three sets of solving two-step equations worksheets with decimals.

• Solve 2-step equations (positive answers).
• Solve 2-step equations (negative answers).

To solve two-step equations with decimals, follow these steps:

1. Clear any decimals by multiplying both sides of the equation by a multiple of ten that will eliminate the decimals and results in a new equation with whole numbers.
   Example:
   0.5x + 1.2 = 3.7
   Multiply every term in the equation by 10 (to remove the decimal point):
   (10)(0.5)x + (10)(1.2)= (10)3.7
   This simplifies to:
   5x + 12 = 37
   
2. Solve the equation by performing the inverse operations.
   Undo addition: Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
   5x + 12 - 12 = 37 - 12
   5x = 25
   
3. Undo multiplication: Divide both sides of the equation by 5.
   5/5 x = 25/5
   x = 5
   
4. Check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equality.
