Two step math equations are algebraic problems that require you to make two moves to find the value of the unknown variable. For example, using the equation 3x + 5 = 11 we will need to perform two steps to find the value of x. The first step would be to get the constant values of the equation by themselves. In this case 5 and 11 are our constants. We can always perform any operation to the equation as long as we perform the same operation to both sides of the equation. If we want to get the 5 and 11 together, we can perform the opposite operation that is already taking place with one of them. If we were to subtract 5 from both sides, we would be left with 3x = 6. That is step one. For step two we need to get rid of the 3 that is next to the variable. To undo multiplication, we can divide. If we were to divide both sides by 3, we would be left with x = 2. When we start out with algebraic equations, most teacher prefer to name the unknown variable x and stay consistent with its use. Equations of lines often are most frequently solved in two steps.

In this section, your students will work on solving for two variables in algebraic expressions and graphing the results. This set of worksheets introduces your students to the concept of solving for two variables, and provides examples, short practice sets, longer sets of questions, and quizzes. In everyday math, in the real world, a survey of daily tasks of over 1,200 was issued by UMASS. They found that two-step math problems were the most common mathematical tasks people were performing. Utilize these worksheets to demonstrate how to solve two step problems. Students will learn how to create equations from number sentences and solve them.
