Solving Two - Step Equations

Step 1 (Solve) - All your trying to do is isolate the variable.
So first you add -4 to +4, then add -4 to 10, because if you
do something to one side, you have to do it to the other.

A + 4 = 10
A + 4 -4 = 10 -4
A = 6

Step 2 (Check) - Rewrite your equation, replace the variable
with whatever number it equaled. If your answers are the
same on both sides then you are correct.

A + 4 = 10
6 + 4 = 10
10 = 10

Here are more equations!

Step 1 (Solve) Step 2 (Check)

B - 2 = 5 B - 2 = 5
B - 2 +2 = 5 +5 7 -2 = 5
B = 7 5 = 5

Step 1 (Solve) Step 2 (Check)

3c = 21 3c = 21
3c/3 = 21/3 3(7) = 21
c = 7 21 = 21

Step 1 (Solve) Step 2 (Check)

w/3 = 6 w/3 = 6
x3 w/3 = 6 x3 18/3 = 6
w = 18 6 = 6

Step 1 (Solve) Step 2 (Check)

2j + 1 = 9 2j + 1 = 9
2j + 1 -1 = 9 -1 2(4) + 1 = 9
2j = 8 8 + 1 = 9
2j/2 = 8/2 9 = 9
j = 4

Step 1 (Solve) Step 2 (Check)

f/3 - 2 = 1 f/3 - 2 = 1
f/3 - 2 +2 = 1 +2 9/3 - 2 = 1
x3f/3 = 3x3 3 - 2 = 1
f = 9 1 = 1

Hi Amy! Good job on your scribe post. It was very detailed. The steps will surely help us remember how to solve two equations. The examples also help us understand more about equations. To make your post even better, I think you should change the font size (To help the readers know what you are talking about), font color (too make it attractive and organize), and a picture. Here are some pictures, link, and video that could also help you.

Hi Sompong I really like you scribe post. It was very organized and detailed. The only thing is you could have made your words have color and made the font a bit bigger too. I really like the link and the video which really helped. I like how you put steps for us to understand it more better. Well Im going to say now is Good Job Ping Pong :)

Hey Amy, good job on your scribe post. I liked how your post was really organized and had everything we did in class, it helped a lot. To make you post even better you should try adding pictures to help us understand more and also try adding some color to catch the readers attention. Here's a video I found for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUpov_2lKhw :)

Hi Sompong! Your scribe post is good. You have lot of details and steps for your scribe post. I suggest you put colorful letters to your scribe post and change the fonts but your scribe post is a REALLY GOOD JOB! :)
