  1. 11 + 3p = -1 2.6 + 4r = 9.2 b – 2 = 1 4 Objective: Students will be able to write and solve two-step equations with one variable! Lesson 5.7Solving Two-Step Equations

  2. In Lesson 5.3-5.6 you solved one-step equations by using a single inverse (or opposite) operation. subtraction The inverse operation of addition is _________. The inverse operation of subtraction is _______. The inverse operation of multiplicationis_________. The inverse operation of division is ____________. addition division multiplication x7 d + 4 = -9 r - 18 = -26 a = -3 7 x7 4y=32 : : - 4 -4 +18 +18 4 4 r = -8 a = -21 d = -13 y = 8

  3. Now it’s time for the fun to begin! Solving Two-step Equations 2x + 5 = -3 What is on the same side of the equal sign as the variable x ? And what mathematical operations are being done to the variable? - 5 -5 : : 2x = -8 2 2 X = -4 : Now you have created a one-step equation which you already know how to solve! Check your answer! 2(-4) + 5 = -3 Rule #1: ALWAYS UNDO ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION FIRST (This turns your equation into a one-step equation.) -8 + 5 = -3 -3 = -3 Rule #2: Undo Multiplication or division after addition or subtraction!!!!

  4. You Did It! Your turn: -5x + 7= -3 Hey! Now it is a one-step equation Which you know how to solve! What is on the same side of the equal sign as the variable x ? - 7 -7 -5x = -10 : : -5 -5 • x = 2 And what mathematical operations are being done to the variable x ? Check: -5 (2) + 7 = -3 What mathematical operation do you do the inverse of first? -10 + 7 = -3 -3=-3 Yeah!

  5. Let’s Practice a few Do: Practice 5.7
