Two Step Equations GCSE Maths
Two step equations require more than one operation to solve. Work slowly and carefully.
Example
Solve:
3x + 5 = 20
Subtract 5:
3x = 15
Divide by 3:
x = 5
Exam tip: Undo operations in reverse order.
Common mistake: Students sometimes divide before removing the constant term.
