Solving Two-Step Equations

This document provides instructions and examples for solving two-step equations and equations with brackets. It begins with examples of solving basic equations like 10 + m = 14 and 2m + 2 = 6. It then provides practice problems for students to try, like 2x + 1 = 13 and 3x - 4 = 5. The document emphasizes that brackets are used to specify the order of operations, and provides examples of solving equations with brackets like 2(m + 3) and 3(2m + 2). It concludes with a short speed test of 6 equations for students to solve.

Equations

Tracking B
Grade D

By the end of this lesson you will:


- solve 2 step equations and equations with
brackets
Key words: equation, brackets, solve, balance
Starter: solve these equations

a)10 + m = 14
m
m
b)50 = 2m

c)24 + m = 26

d)25 – m = 12

e)3m = 18 2m + 2 = 6

f)2m + 2 = 6 (see HINT opp)


Try these...
2x + 1 = 13 3x – 4 = 5

x 13 x -4 5
x2 +1 x3

13 5
Try it for yourself ...

There are 6 questions – 30 seconds for


each one
Question 1
14 + m = 18
Question 2
4m = 24
Question 3
m =4
5

HINT: this line means divide... 


Question 4
12 – m = 9
Question 5
2m + 1 = 11
Question 6
3m + 4 = 10
Answers
1) m= 6
2) m= 4
3) m= 20
4) m= 3
5) m= 5
6) m= 2
What’s the fuss about brackets?
We use brackets to help us know what
order to do things in...

Eg. 2 x (7 + 3) = 20

We also use brackets in algebra

3 x (2a + 1) = 6a + 3
Can you do these?
2 ( m + 3) 3 ( m + 3)
2m + 6 3m + 9
3 ( 2m + 2) 4 ( 2m + 2)
6m + 6 8m + 8
4 ( 5 – m) 5 ( 5 – m)
20 – 4m 25 – 5m
5 ( 3m + 2) 2 ( 3m + 2)
15m + 10 6m + 4
10 2 ( m + 1) 12 3 ( m + 1)
