How to Solve Two-Step Equation

Hello students! 

This assignment is designed for you to work on your own pace. But if you have any questions or stuck on a step please reach out! 

Two-step equation is an algebraic equation that has a constant number that can be solve for in two steps. 

Reminder: A constant number is written as a variable (any letter in the alphabet to symbolize for the variable). This constant number remains the same amount in an equation.

When solving for the variable, it is must to remember the inverse operation to each operation. 

Inverse Operation

Take notes for your own guidance to use when working on practice problems. 

Read this article from Khan Academy and take notes. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-variables-expressions/cc-8th-two-step-equations-dec-frac/a/two-step-equations-review

Or if you'd like you can watch a video instead. 

Watch this YouTube Video on how to solve two-step equation.

Step 1: Finalize your notes after reading the article from Khan Academy or watching the YouTube video provided at the "task section."

Step 2: I have some practice problems for you to solve. The answers will be in the "evaluation section" 

1.  2(n+5) = -2
2. -15 =  -4m  + 5 
3. 8n + 7 = 31
4. -9x - 13 = -103
5. -10 = -10 + 7m
6. 6= (a/4) +2
7. 0 = 4 + (n/5)
8. -4 = (r/20) - 5
9. -6 = (n/2) - 10 
10. -2 = 2 + (v/4) 

Don't forget to show your work to get the full credit! Each problem is worth 3 points. One point for each step. One point for the right solution. 

Now it's time to check your answers. Make sure to mark your papers with a check mark or an x. 

Answers: 

1. -6 

2. 5 

3. 3

4. 10

5. 0

6. 16

7. -20

8. 20

9. 8

If you showed work for all 10 equations, you automatically receive 20 points. You get an additional point for each correct answer you provided. 

If you earned all 30 points, you have acquired and learned the lesson. Congratulations! You are now a team captain. 

For those who didn't earned all 30 points, you will now be a team member. 

Once, everyone is done completing this assignment. We will re-group and pick team members for our small group game. 

Students I provided this lesson in a different manner to allow you to work on your own pace, comfortably solve your own practice problem on your own to build your confidence and knowledge while still allowing you to be able to ask questions if needed. 

We all don't learn the same, hence I gave you the option to read the article from Khan Academy or watch the video from YouTube. 

If you'd like more activities like this, please draw a smiley face on your paper that you wrote your work on for a grade! If you have an additional idea that we can add or remove please let me know! 

Your exit ticket will be your paper that showed your work! 

Have an amazing day everyone. 

This WebQuest lesson is culturally relevant because it allowed different types of leaners to be included through the use of the article from Khan Academy or the video from YouTube. 

If technology was not properly working, as an educator, I can easily write a lesson on the board or have one copy of the article standing by just in case the internet was not working. If I had to assign this lesson during while students are at home and they don't have access to a computer. I can prepare the lesson through pen and paper. 

By providing different strategies or options to students on how they can learn the lesson allows them to be independent, know their strengths and learning preferences.
