How to do 2 step equations?

Answer 1

to do a 2 step equation, you use the rules of equality. ex. 2x+4=10. First, the addition property. you can - or+ a number to both sides to have it still be equal. So subtract 4 from both sides, you have 2x=6. Now, division. you need to divide by the constant of the x. so, divide both sides by 2 and your answer is x=3. It is a different type of math, so it may take some getting used to. Sorry if I'm not clear, I'm not a complete expert on algebra myself.
