In order to solve this equation, we must isolate . Begin by subtracting 5 from both sides:

Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to find :

The answer is 18.

To solve two-step equations, first move everything that does not have the variable over to the other side of the equation. Add 5 to each side of the equation. Keep in mind you must do the same step on each side of the equation every time you change something.

The equation should look like this:

Then, isolate the variable by moving the 2 to the other side of the equation. Do this by dividing:

Your result should be the following:

To solve two-step equations, first move everything that does not have the variable over to the other side of the equation. In order to move the 9 to the other side of the equation, you must do the opposite operation (subtraction). Keep in mind you must do the same step on each side of the equation every time you change something.

The equation should now look like this:

Then, isolate the variable by moving the 3 to the other side of the equation. Do this by dividing:

Your answer should be as follows:

To solve two-step equations, first move everything that does not have the variable over to the other side of the equation. In order to move the 63 to the other side of the equation, you must do the opposite operation (subtraction). Keep in mind you must do the same step on each side of the equation every time you change something.

Your equation should now look like this:

Next, isolate your variable by moving the 6 to the other side of the equation using division:

Your result should look like this:

To solve two-step equations, first move everything that does not have the variable over to the other side of the equation. In order to move the 40 to the other side of the equation, you must do the opposite operation (subtraction). Keep in mind you must do the same step on each side of the equation every time you change something.

The equation should now look like this:

Then, divide by 6:

The result should be the following:

To solve two-step equations, first move everything that does not have the variable over to the other side of the equation. In order to move the 6 to the other side of the equation, you must do the opposite operation (subtraction). Keep in mind you must do the same step on each side of the equation every time you change something.

The equation should now look like this:

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 8:

The result should be the following:

Add 2 to both sides:

The equation should now look this:

Divide both sides by 4:

Add 12 to both sides of the equation:

The equation should now look like this:

Divide each side by 18:

Your result should be:

Subtract 3 from both sides:

The equation should now look like this:

Divide by 2:

Your result should be:
