5-1 Write Two Step Equations

Equations use math operations to show how numbers are related to each other.

Equations show that two expressions are equal to each other

Equations do not use variables

Equations do not show relationships

Yes

No

Use your knowledge of how numbers work together

Use the math terms in the problem that mean a math operation

Look for the words that mean math symbols

Keep in the order given to you unless a math terms tells you to switch it

$\frac{r-5}{2}=\ 36$

$\frac{r\ -\ 5}{2}$

36

2(r - 5)

Scott picked 19 tomatoes.

Graham picked 5 times as many tomatoes as Scott

Scott picked n tomatoes and Graham picked 5 times as many as him but then threw away 6 of them. He now has 19.

None of this situations fit the equation

5 - 2/3

2/3h - 5 = 11

2/3h = 11

11 - 5

24.5 = 0.38 + 15 x g

24.5 = 15 x g + 0.38

24.5 = 0.38 + g x 15

24.5 = 15 + 0.38 x g

x/4 - 3 = 12

4x - 3 = 12

1/4x - 3 = 12

x/3 - 4 = 12

37 - 3n = 10

7 - 3n = 37

3n - 7 = 37

3n + 7 = 37

8.75 + t = 61

t(4 + 12.75) = 61

4(61 + t) = 12.75

4(12.75 + t) = 61
