Students will be able to:
analyze word problems to write two-step equations.
interpret the quantities in an equation.
An equation shows a relationship between the variables, the coefficient, and the constant. This relationship allows you to write equations with two or more steps or to write equations that use more than one operation.
You can write an equation with more than one operation to represent a situation.
3(x + 5) = 24
This two-step equation uses multiplication and addition.
x/4 - 15 = 18
This two-step equation uses division and subtraction.
