📚 Part 1: Multiple Choice (Use a multiplication chart if you need help)

I can... use inverse operations and a multiplication chart to solve two-step equations.

Success criteria: I can undo addition/subtraction first, then undo multiplication/division to find the value of the variable.

1. 3x + 5 = 20. What is x?

2. 2★ + 9 = 25. What is ★?

3. (y ÷ 4) + 6 = 11. What is y?

4. 5 + 2■ = 17. What is ■?

5. 4a − 3 = 21. What is a?

I can... show each step using inverse operations and check my answer by substituting back into the original equation.

Success criteria: I subtract or add first, then multiply or divide; I label each step and write the final value of the variable.
