By Jonathan Argueta and Morgan Howe

Two Step Equations: Important Rule

• Whatever you do to one side you HAVE to do to the other.

Two Step Equations: Method

• There are many methods you could use but the method we’re going to show you is the UPSIDE DOWN T.

Two Step Equations: How to Solve

Solve for s … s is for SpongeBob4s+6=18

1.Subtract 6 from both sides 4s+6=18 -6 -62.Divide 4 from each side to 4s=12 get s by itself 4 4 s=3

Do you see the upside down T

Congratulations!

Now you know how to

solve two step equations!

Two Step Equations: Now You TRY IT!

Solve for the variable on a piece of paper and when you have your answer click the slide and the answer will appear.

1)2s+3= 15 s=62) 7h+1= 64 h=93) 5x+8=58 x=10

Did you get them all right?? If you did good job!! If you didn’t keep trying, go back and see what

you did wrong. If you need help SpongeBob and Patrick are here.
