How to solve two-step equations - HSPT Math

Subtract 16, then divide by 9:

Use the distributive property to multiply out the first expression (which becomes ) and then combine like terms. Isolate for and you get 16.

Multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the denominator. Then, isolate for . The answer is 7.

First, subtract:

Then divide each side by 3:

Answer: 10

First, subtract 6 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 9:

Answer: 2

First, subtract 7 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 4:

Answer: 12

First, solve the square roots:

Then, solve accordingly:

First, solve the square roots:

Then, solve accordingly:

First subtract 6 from both sides:

The, divide by 7 on each side:

Answer: 6

First, add 3 on both sides:

Then, divide by 16 on both sides:

First, subtract 2 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 9:

First, subtract 14 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 6:

First, add 8 to both sides:

Then, divide both sides by 12:

First subtract 25 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 11:

First, subtract 15 from each side:

Then, divide each side by 10:

Start by separating the terms and the constants on different sides of the equal sign.

Add to both sides of the equation to move the integers to the left side of the equal sign, and add on both sides of the equation to move the terms on the right side of the equation.

Combine like-terms and simplify.

Divide by on both sides.

To solve this equation, we must isolate the unknown variable. First add 10 on both sides.

Divide by two on both sides of the equation.
