Solving Two-Step Linear Equations

Vocabulary practice flashcards covering the step-by-step solutions to two-step linear equations from the practice worksheet.

$$5x + 3 = 8$$

A linear equation solved by subtracting 3 from both sides to obtain $5x = 5$, then dividing both sides by 5, yielding the solution $x = 1$.

$$\frac{n + 2}{2} = -1$$

A linear equation solved by multiplying both sides by 2 to obtain $n + 2 = -2$, then subtracting 2 from both sides, yielding the solution $n = -4$.

$$-6 - 2m = 10$$

A linear equation solved by adding 6 to both sides to obtain $-2m = 16$, then dividing both sides by -2, yielding the solution $m = -8$.

$$\frac{x}{5} + 7 = 11$$

A linear equation solved by subtracting 7 from both sides to obtain $\frac{x}{5} = 4$, then multiplying both sides by 5, yielding the solution $x = 20$.

$$-5 = 7 + 3r$$

A linear equation solved by subtracting 7 from both sides to obtain $-12 = 3r$, then dividing both sides by 3, yielding the solution $r = -4$.

$$\frac{n - 6}{3} = -4$$

A linear equation solved by multiplying both sides by 3 to obtain $n - 6 = -12$, then adding 6 to both sides, yielding the solution $n = -6$.
