Examples, videos, worksheets, stories and songs to help Grade 6 students learn how to Solve Two-Step Equations.
In order to solve an equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. In this lesson, we will learn how to solve two-step equations. A two-step equation is an equation that you can solve in two operations.
In some other lessons, we will learn how to solve one-step equations, multi-step equations and equations with variables on both sides.
How to solve two-step equations?
1. Add or subtract in order to isolate the variable term.
2. Multiply or divide to solve for the variable.
3. Check all possible solutions.
Remember: To maintain equality, we must perform the same operation to both sides of the equation.
