SOLVING TWO STEP EQUATIONS WORKSHEET

Solve each of the following equation.

1) 4x + 5 = 29

2) 7 - 5x = 22

3) (x/6) - 12 = 8

Which of the following equations equivalent to 2x + 13 = -5 ?

(a) 2x+5 = -13 (b) x = 2(-5-13)

5) (2x/5) - 7 = 3

6) A number g is decreased by 23 and then multiplied by 1/2. The result is 8 more than twice the number g.

7) Nine less than twice x is three more than x. What is the value of x?

8) Eight less than four times the number c is twenty. What is the value of c?

9) The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 296. What is the greatest of the four consecutive odd integers?

10) The sum of four consecutive integers is -54.

Answer Key

1) x = 6

2) x = -3

3) x = 40

4) So, option (a) is correct.

5) x = 25

6) g = -13

7) x = 12

8) x = 7

9) So, 77 is the greatest odd number.

10) x = -15
