Two-Step Equations in Mixed Forms

Start with Two-Step Equations With Integers, then choose the variation that matches the skill. Use the checkpoint at the end to see what students can do on their own, and have students record their number correct in the score box.

Solve two-step equations in different forms, such as 7 + 3x = −8 and 12 = 6 − 2x, and check each one. The directions on the page read: Solve for x and show your work. Then substitute x to check your answer. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade algebra, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.

Undo the addition or subtraction first, then undo the multiplication or division. For 3x + 5 = −16, subtract 5 to get 3x = −21 and divide by 3 to get x = −7. Two-Step Equations With Integers has students substitute x to check the answer.

Divide both sides by the negative number, and keep the sign on the answer. For −4x + 9 = 15, subtract 9 to get −4x = 6, so x = −3/2. Two-Step Equations With Negative Coefficients has at least 10 of these, and fraction answers go in simplest form.

Either path works, and the easier one depends on the numbers. In 7(x − 3) = 56, dividing by 7 first is easier. Distribute First or Divide First in Equations has students pick a path, solve and explain why it was easier.

Name the unknown, then match the fixed amount and the amount that repeats. A $12 launch fee plus $8 per hour for h hours, with $52 paid in all, gives 8h + 12 = 52. Write and Solve Two-Step Equations practices this with units on each answer.
