Two-Step Equations THINK of Hands-On Equations. Isolate the variable. Since algebra is working backwards, do the order of operations in reverse. UNDO addition and subtraction before multiplication and division. 1. 2. 3. Solve and justify each step. 5. A cable television company charges $24.95 4. per month for basic cable service and $6.95 per month for each additional premium channel. If Sam’s monthly bill is $45.80, how many premium channels is he receiving?
Solve and justify each step. 6. 8. 7. 9. Jane’s cell phone plan is $20 per month plus $0.35 per minute for each minute over 200 minutes of call time. If Jane’s cell phone bill is $69.00, for how many extra minutes was she billed?
