Solving Two-Step
Equations
7th Grade
2011-2012
Standard – 7.EE.3
• I can use expressions and equations to
solve multi-step, real-life problems using
positive and negative rational numbers.
What is a Two-Step Equation?
• Put in your own words
W. A. C.
• You can “WAC” these equations, too! YAY!
• Don’t Forget…
Objective - To solve equations
involving two steps.
3x + 4 = 16
Hard way
Easy way
3x + 4 = 16
3x + 4 = 16
- Undo Multiplication
or Division first
- Undo Addition or
Subtraction first

3x + 1 = 7
Answer: x=2

1) Goal: Isolate the variable.
ISOLATE
2) Golden Rule of Algebra.
BALANCE
3) To undo an operation, use inverse operation.
INVERSE OPERATION

Quick Draw for Points!
• Who is the best at showing
their work?
• The text is TWO STEP

• You will have 30-60 seconds
for each problem.
• Are you ready to prove
yourself?
