2-step Equations (week 4)

Conquer 2-step equations! Practice solving and matching problems.

Match each equation with the steps you would use to solve it. 2(x + 4) = 37 divide each side by 2 and then subtract 4 2x + 4 = 37 subtract 4 from each side and then divide both sides by 2 multiply both sides by 2 and then subtract 4 from both sides - 2(x + 4) = 37 divide both sides by - 2 and then subtract 4 from both sides - 2x + 4 = 37 subtract 4 from both sides and then divide both sides by - 2 Solve.2(x + 4) = 37 14.5 16.5 70 20.5 Solve. In the space below, show your work and make sure you check your answer : ) Which equation represents the word problem?You have made some sandwiches for your siblings. You then made 6 more. You took all of the sandwiches and divided them among your 3 siblings. Each sibling has 5 sandwiches. How many did you start with? x + 6 ÷ 3 = 5 3x + 6 = 5 Which equation represents the word problem?There are some marbles in a bowl. Twice the sum of the number of red marbles and 4 is equal to 36 total marbles. How many red marbles were in the bowl? 2r + 4 = 36 2(r + 4) = 36 r + 4 = 36 2r - 4 = 36 Solve. x = - 20 x = x = 20 x = - 15 Solve the equation in the space below. Make sure you show your work and you check your answer : ) Which steps would correctly solve the equation? multiply both sides by 8 and then subtract 17 multiply both sides by 8 and then add 17 multiply both sides by - 8 and then subtract 17 multiply both sides by - 8 and then add 17 Solve. x = 13 x = - 2 x = - 3 x = 3 Which equation represents the word problemA number was randomly picked out of a bag. Three times the difference of a number and 5 is 27. What number was picked out of the bag? 3x - 5 = 27 x - 5 = 27 3(x - 5) = 27 3x + 5 = 27
