  4. Operations in the equation To solve   Subtract 5 from both First x is multiplied by 2. sides of the equation.  Then 5 is added.  Then divide both sides by 2. Solving Two-Step Equations Many equations contain more than one operation, such as 2x + 5 = 11. 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. 2x + 5 = 11

  5. –5 –5 2x = 6 2x + 5 =11 Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 2. x = 3 The solution set is {3}. Each time you perform an inverse operation, you create an equation that is equivalentto 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. 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. To Solve: Inverse Operations in the Inverse Order

  7. 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 The DO-UNDO Chart

  8. 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 d - 2 = 21 +2 +2 d = 23 Example:

  9. 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 Example:

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

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

  12. + 4 +4 Your Turn: Solve the equation. Check your answer. –4+ 7x = 3 First x is multiplied by 7. Then –4 is added. –4+ 7x = 3 Add 4 to both sides. 7x = 7 7x = 7 is equivalent to –4 + 7x = 3. Since x is multiplied by 7, divide both sides by 7 to undo the multiplication. x = 1 The solution set is {1}.

  13. Your Turn: Continued Check your answer. Check –4+ 7x = 3 To check your solution, substitute 1 for x in the original equation. –4 + 7(1) 3 –4 + 7 3 33 

  14. + 5.7+5.7 Your Turn: Solve the equation. 1.5 = 1.2y – 5.7 First y is multiplied by 1.2. Then 5.7 is subtracted. 1.5 = 1.2y – 5.7 Add 5.7 to both sides. 7.2 = 1.2y 7.2 = 1.2y is equivalent to 1.5 = 1.2y – 5.7. Since y is multiplied by 1.2, divide both sides by 1.2 to undo the multiplication. 6= y The solution set is {6}.

  15. –2 –2 = 0 is equivalent to + 2 = 2. = 0 Your Turn: Solve the equation. First n is divided by 7. Then 2 is added. Subtract 2 from each side. Since n is divided by 7, multiply both sides by 7 to undo the division. n = 0 The solution set is {0}.
