x/5+25=30
X=25
What is the first step of 2 step equations?
subtract or add each side of the equation for Example: 1x+2=3
-2 -2
What is an Exponent
Exponent of a number says how many times to use that number in a multiplication.
x-5=-2
X=3
2x-10=30
X=20
x/2-5=10
X=30
What is Step 2 of 2 Step Equations?
Divide the remaining numbers by the number with the variable
What is a Variable
A variable is a quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem or experiment
x-9=1
X=10
5x -15 =30
X=9
x/2-10=40
X=100
How do you check your answer
Plug your answer back in the equation
What is Power
Power is a simpler word for exponent
x-10=5
X=15
2x-16=62
X=39
x/6+30=60
X=180
What if the answer is a improper Fraction, what would you do
Reduce
What is a Constant
a constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change
x+17=34
5x+25=150
X=25
x/3-10=40
X=150
what if there is a problem like 3x+2x+2=4 with 2 variables
you would combine the like terms to make it a 2 Step Equation
What is Reciprocal
When you flip the fraction around for Example: 1/2 = 2/1
x-23=-5
X=18
3x + 10 =50
X=13.3
