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
