4. This equation contains multiplication and addition. Equations that contain two operations require two steps to solve. Identify the operations in the equation and the order in which they are applied to the variable. Then use inverse operations to undo them in reverse over one at a time. Many equations contain more than one operation, such as 2x + 5 = 11. Operations in the equation  multiplied First x is multiplied by 2.  added. Then 5 is added.   To solveSubtract 5 from both sides of the equation. divide both sides by 2. Then divide both sides by 2. Solving Two-Step Equations

5. 2x + 5 =11 –5 2x = 6 x = 3 Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 2. The solution set is {3}. Each time you perform an inverse operation, you create an equation that is equivalent to the original equation. Equivalent equations have the same solutions, or the same solution set. In the example above, 2x + 5 = 11, 2x = 6, and x = 3 are all equivalent equations.

6. To Solve: Inverse Operations in the Inverse Order Ex: x + 9 = 6 5 Ask yourself: What is the first thing we are doing to x? The second thing? Recall the order of operations as you answer these questions. dividing by 5 adding 9 To undo these steps, do the inverse operations in inverse order.

7. The DO-UNDO Chart Use a chart as a shortcut to answering the questions. DO UNDO ÷5 -9 +9 ·5 Follow the steps in the ‘undo’ column to isolate the variable. Ex: x + 9 = 6 5 First subtract 9. x + 9 - 9 = 6 - 9 5 x = -3 5 Then multiply by 5. (5) x = -3(5) 5 x = -15

8. Example: Complete the do-undo chart. DO UNDO -2 ·3 ÷ 3 +2 To solve for d: First multiply by 3. Then add 2. Ex: d - 2 = 7 3 (3) d - 2 = 7(3) 3 d - 2 = 21 +2 +2 d = 23

9. Example: Remember to always use the sign in front of the number. DO UNDO ÷ -7 - 3 +3 · -7 To solve for a: First subtract 3. Then multiply by -7. Ex: 3 - a = -2 7 3 - a = -2 7 -3 -3 - a = -5 7 (-7)(- a) = (-5)(-7) 7 a = 35

10. Your Turn: 1)5z + 16 = 51 2)14n - 8 = 34 3)4b + 8 = 10 -2

11. The answers: 1)DO UNDO · 5 - 16 +16 ÷ 5 1)z = 7 2) DO UNDO · 14 +8 -8 ÷ 14 2)n = 3 3)DO UNDO · 4 · -2 +8 - 8 ÷ -2 ÷ 4 3)b = -7
