Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
When solving two-step equations, you need to 'undo' two operations to get the unknown all by itself.
- 2
To solve two-step equations, use the order of operations in reverse, which is not the only way to solve it, but usually the easiest way.
- 3
When a problem has parenthesis, or implied parenthesis such as with a fraction, you must wait to do groups last of all.
