1-Step Equations

100

 2(x) = 14

  Divide both sides by 2

 x = 7

200

 x - 8 = 15

x = 23

300

 3x = 18

x = 6

400

 x/5 = 9

 x = 45

500

 -2x = 10

 x = -5

2-Step Equations

100

 2x + 3 = 11

 2x = 8 

x = 4 

200

3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)

 Distribute: 3x - 6 = 2x + 2

   - Subtract 2x: x - 6 = 2

   - Add 6: x = 8

300

4(x + 1) = 20

x = 4

400

 6x - 5 = 19

6x = 24

 x = 4

500

 2(x + 5) = 4(x + 1)

Distribute: 2x + 10 = 4x + 4

   - Subtract 2x: 10 = 2x + 4

   - Subtract 4: 6 = 2x

   - Divide by 2: x = 3

Variables on Both Sides

 5y - 4 = 3y + 10

y = 7

300

 7x + 2 = 3x + 18

x = 4

400

 6x - 5 = 4x + 11

 x = 8
