I can solve two-step equations using inverse operations.

  • 1

    When solving two-step equations, you need to 'undo' two operations to get the unknown all by itself.

  • 2

    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.

  • 3

    When a problem has parenthesis, or implied parenthesis such as with a fraction, you must wait to do groups last of all.
