- 1). Solve a two-step algebra problem, of the form ax + b = c where "a" , "b" and "c" are numbers, by adding or subtracting "b" from both sides of the equation. Divide "a" from both sides of the equation to isolate "x."
- 2). Solve the two-step equation (1/2)x + 6 = 10. Subtract 6 from both sides: (1/2)x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6 becomes (1/2)x = 4.
- 3). Multiply 2 to both sides of the equation, since it is the opposite of (1/2) and will cancel out the fraction and isolate the variable: (1/2)x * 2 = 4 * 2 becomes x = 8.
