When you are solving a 2-step equation, you do the opposite of a 1-step equation. You do addition and subtraction first, then the multiplication second. Example: 2x + 9=16 -9 -9 2x=7 Now it's a 1-step equation 2x=7 /2 /2 Your answer would be 3.5 To check all you do is replace the variable with your answer. 2x + 9=16 2(3.5) + 9=16
