Equations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When solving two-step algebraic equations, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To isolate the variable, we have to undo the involved operations by using their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/addition\/inverse-operations\">inverse operations<\/a> (opposite operations) and solve for the varibale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Operation<\/strong><\/th><th

we use multiplication or division to find the value of the variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong>Solve $2x + 1 = 5$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subtract 1 from both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$2x +
