Solving Two-Step Equations
This lesson teaches how to solve two-step equations using a simple algorithm. First, you circle the variable you want to solve for, then use inverse operations for addition and subtraction. After that, you use inverse operations for multiplication and division to isolate the variable. Lastly, you double-check your answer to ensure accuracy. By following this process, you can easily solve any two-step equation.
How to use steps to solve for two step equations
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
