Solving 2-step Equations

Good morning, students!  Today, we will be solving two-step equations.

Remember, equations are all about balance.  You have to do the same thing to both sides of your equation.  Both sides of the equation must be EQUAL or the same.

1. How to solve 2-step equations!  
Check out this explanation online about how to solve two-step equations:

2. Keep it balanced!  
Here is a great way to model what those algebraic equations really mean.  You can choose one or two step equations depending on what you want to practice.  You can solve problems step by step or practice on your own!
