What a question looks like

Example questionSolve for x: 18x − 2 = 322.

Answer: 18

  1. Add 2 on both sides: 18x = 324.
  2. Divide by 18: x = 18.
Teaching notes

Use this practice well

Undo addition or subtraction before multiplication or division when solving a standard two-step equation. Check the final value by substitution, not only by comparing with the answer key.

What this develops

Generate equations that need two inverse operations.

A mistake to watch for

Dividing before removing the constant can alter both terms incorrectly.

Ways to use it

  • Bridge from one-step equations.
  • Mark each inverse operation.
  • Use substitution as an independent check.

Scope and limits

These equations stay within two operations and are not systems of equations.
