Solving 2-Step Equations

In this lesson, we learn how to solve two-step equations step-by-step. We begin with the foundational skills of balancing equations involving multiplication with addition/subtraction, as well as division with addition/subtraction. Progressing further, we tackle trickier algebraic structures including powers and roots, brackets, and negative coefficients. Finally, we look at how to handle fractional and decimal coefficients, and how to confidently solve equations when the positions are swapped.
