Let Me See You 1-2 Step Two-Step Algebraic Equations
Today’s Vocabulary Two-Step Equations Coefficient Constant
Two Step Equations Two-Step Equations are equations that require two-steps to solve. You will ADD or SUBTRACT and then MULTIPLY or DIVIDE. 3x + 8 = 29
Coefficient Coefficient – The number that is attached to a variable 3x + 8 = 29 Coefficient
Coefficient To get rid of the coefficient, you will either MULTIPY or DIVIDE
Constant The constant is the number that is not attached to a variable. It MUST be on the same side of the equal sign as the variable. 3x + 8 = 29 Coefficient Constant
Constant To get rid of the constant, you will either ADD or SUBTRACT You get rid of the constant FIRST!!
4x + 12 = 20
6x + 3 = x + 2 = -8 5x + 15 = 24 -7x - 11 = 33 4x - 13 = x = -20 Label the Coefficient and the Constant
How do I solve two-step equations? To solve two-step equations, you do order of operations in REVERSE This means that you do addition or subtraction FIRST
Reverse order of operations? What does that mean? Isn’t there an easier way to understand this?
How do I solve two-step equations? To solve two-step equations, you get rid of the constant FIRST This means that you do addition or subtraction FIRST
