Practice solving equations that take two steps to solve. For example, solve -16 = x/4 + 2.

A two-step equation is an algebraic equation that takes you two steps to solve. You've solved the equation when you get the variable by itself, with no numbers in front of it, on one side of the …

This example demonstrates how we solve an equation expressed such: ax + b = c. It's a little more complicated than previous examples, but you can do it!

Here's how we solve a two step equation. It begins with the concept of equality: what we do to one side of the equation must be done to the other.

It takes two steps because he first has to subtract 2 from both sides and then multiply both sides by 4. Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.
