Matching Pairs 2-Step EquationsOnline version practice with equations by Jodie De Sordi 1 x - 7 = 12 2 What is the second step step? 4x - 6 = -12 3 What is the first step? 4x - 6 = -12 4 -12x = 144 5 x/-5 + 9 = 16 What is the first step? 6 x + 7 = -12 7 Distribute -4(x - 9) 8 x/-5 + 9 = 16 What is the second step? 9 Distribute 4(x - 9) 10 x/-3 = -4 -19 19 -12 Subtract 9 on both sides. Multiply by -5 on both sides. -4x + 36 Divide by 4 on both sides. Add 6 4x - 36 12
