2 step equations are equations that require 2 steps to solve it.
For example, 2x + 5 = 3x + 6
To solve for x, we must isolate it.
First subtract 2x on both sides, which is ONE step.
2x + 5 = 3x + 6
-2x -2x
5 = x + 6
The we must subtract 6 from both sides of the equation, which makes is the second step.
5 = x + 6
-6 -6
-1 = x
-1 would be the answer and we only used 2 steps to solve it.
Answer:
Please show us the questions and will help further this discussion.
So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps -5 -5
-----------------------
3x = 24
Divide both sides by 3 so you get
x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
A is not commutative with the above expression
your answer is A
