Two-Step Equations
- A two-step equation is an equation that requires two operations to solve.
- When solving a two-step equation, the same operation should be performed on both sides of the equation to maintain balance.
- A two-step equation is completely solved when the variable is isolated on one side of the equation.
- The 'usual' method for solving a two-step equation is to perform the inverse operation of the one given in the equation.
- Not all two-step equations are solved in the same way, as the specific operations required to solve them may vary.
