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