To solve two-step equations, undo the operations by working backwards. Example: Ask yourself, What is the first thing we are doing to x? What is the second thing? • Recall the order of operations as you answer these questions. • Dividing by 2 • Subtracting 3 To undo these steps, do the opposite operations in opposite order.
1) Solve 2x - 1 = -3 Draw “the river” Add 1 to both sides Simplify Divide both sides by 2 Simplify Check your answer + 1 + 1 2x = -2 2 2 x = -1 2(-1) - 1 = -3 -2 – 1 = -3
2) Solve Draw “the river” Add 4 to both sides Simplify Clear the fraction -Multiply both sides by 3 Simplify Check your answer + 4 + 4 3 · · 3 x = 36 12 – 4 = 8
