Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When solving two-step equations, you need to 'undo' two operations to get the unknown all by itself.
- •
To solve two-step equations, use the order of operations in reverse, which is not the only way to solve it, but usually the easiest way.
- •
When a problem has parenthesis, or implied parenthesis such as with a fraction, you must wait to do groups last of all.
