Key concepts students will learn:

  • When solving two-step equations, the goal is to isolate the variable by using inverse operations.

  • To solve a two-step equation, you must undo the operations in the reverse order of operations, ensuring that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you also do to the other side.

  • After solving for the variable, you can check your answer by plugging the value back into the original equation to see if it makes the equation true.
