Solving “Tricky” 2-Step Equations TSE 4
Instructions: Some 2-Step Equations are tricky because of the location of the unknown in operations
that don’t commute (subtraction and division). One way to solve these equations is to do an extra
initial step to re-arrange the equation so that it looks like one you already know how to solve.
