Solving Two-Step Equations
To solve equations with more than one operation, or a two-step
equation, follow the order of operations in reverse. First add or
subtract and then multiply or divide.

Solving Two-Step Equations
Sometimes you can write one equation to solve a problem that
would otherwise take two steps to solve.
Your teacher says that if you get a 100 on the next test, your mean
score will be 94. What is your mean score for the 6 tests you have
taken so far?
Understand the Problem
1. List what you know and what you are asked to find.
2. Complete to show how to find
the mean of a set of values. mean =

Solving Multi-Step Equations
There is usually more than one way to solve a multi-step equation. There are steps you
can take, however, to make the equation easier to solve. For instance, adding like
terms on each side of the equation simplifies the solving process. Also, using the
Distributive Property helps simplify the equation.
Combining Like Terms to Solve an Equation
Solve 5x (cid:1) 12 (cid:2) 1x (cid:3) 36.
5x (cid:1) 12 (cid:2) 1x (cid:3) 36
x (cid:1) 12 (cid:3) 36 Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
Subtract from both sides.
4x 24
(cid:1)(cid:1) (cid:3) (cid:1)(cid:1) Divide both sides by to isolate the variable.
4
x (cid:3) Solve for x.
Using the Distributive Property to Solve Equations
Solve 2(3x (cid:2) 5) (cid:1) 7 (cid:3) 12
2(3x (cid:2) 5) (cid:1) 7 (cid:3) 12
(cid:2) (cid:1) 7 (cid:3) 12 Distribute 2 on the left side.

Add to both sides.
(cid:3) Divide both sides by .
x (cid:3) Simplify.

Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides
When solving equations with variables on both sides of the
equation, get all of the variable terms on one side of the equation by
adding or subtracting.

not be equal. An inequality uses one of the following:
inequality

An inequality that contains a variable is an algebraic inequality.
Writing Inequalities
Write an inequality for each situation.
