1. Solving Two Step Equations
Intro

2. Solve for the missing Variable
Warm Up
Solve for the missing Variable
5x = x + 27 = 84

3. What is our goal? To get the variable all by itself Ex: x = 13
Two Step Equations

4. Hint: Think Order of Operations
Two Step Equations
Tell me how you would solve the expressions if you knew what x was.
4x + 13 𝑥
Hint: Think Order of Operations

5. Steps to Solving Two Step Equations
Make sure all like terms are combined on each side of the equal sign
Think how you would normally solve the expression. (order of operations)
Work backwards and perform the opposite operation.
Be sure to…

6. Solve for x
4x + 13 = 65
𝑥 = 17
