Lesson 1 One step Equations

1.To solve one-step equations, we do the inverse (opposite) of whatever operation is being performed on the variable, so we get the variable by itself.

Lesson 2 Two step equations

  1. Step 1: Simplify the given equation by removing all brackets and parenthesis:
  2. Step 2: Add or subtract to isolate the variable.
  3. Step 2: Multiply or divide to determine the value of the variable.
  4. Step: Verify the answer by substituting it in the given equation.

Multistep Equations

  • (Optional) Multiply to clear any fractions or decimals.
  • Simplify each side by clearing parentheses and combining like terms.
  • Add or subtract to isolate the variable term—you may have to move a term with the variable.
  • Multiply or divide to isolate the variable.
  • Check the solution.
