🧩 One-Step & Two-Step Equations

Two-step equations require two inverse operations to isolate the variable. The general form is ax + b = c.
Steps to solve:
• Add or subtract to move the constant term to the other side
• Multiply or divide to isolate the variable
• Check by substituting your answer back into the original equation

Example: 2x + 3 = 11
Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x = 8
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2: x = 4
Key rule: Whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side.
