Today’s Learning Goal Assignment

Learn to solve two-step equations.

Pre-Algebra

10-1 Solving Two-Step Equations

Sometimes more than one inverse operation is needed to solve an equation.

Before solving, ask yourself,

“What is being done to the variable & in what order?”

Then work backward to undo the operations.

10-1 Solving Two-Step Equations

The mechanic’s bill to repair Mr. Wong’s car was $650. The mechanic charges $45 an hour for labor, and the parts that were used cost $443. How many hours did the mechanic work on the car?

11 Understand the Problem

The answer is the number of hours the mechanic worked on the car.

List the important information:

Let h represent the hours the mechanic worked.

• The parts cost $443.• The labor cost $45 per hour.• The total bill was $650.

Total bill = Parts + Labor

650 = 443 + 45h

Pre-Algebra

10-1 Solving Two-Step Equations

Think: First the variable is multiplied by 45, and then 443 is added to the result. Work backward to solve the equation. Undo the operations in reverse order: First subtract 443 from both sides of the equation, and then divide both sides of the new equation by 45.

–443 –443 Subtract to undo the addition.

207 = 45h

4.6 = h

The mechanic worked for 4.6 hours on Mr. Wong’s car.

Pre-Algebra

10-1 Solving Two-Step Equations

If the mechanic worked 4.6 hours, the labor would be $45(4.6) = $207. The sum of the parts and the labor would be $443 + $207 = $650.

The answer is the number of hours the mechanic worked on your car.

List the important information:

Let h represent the hours the mechanic worked.

• The parts cost $275.

• The labor cost $35 per hour.

• The total bill was $850.

Total bill = Parts + Labor

850 = 275 + 35h

Pre-Algebra
