Make up two equations, one that is true and one that is false. Do not state which equation is true and which is false.
2. Create an example of an open equation that uses the variable x and would require two or more steps to solve.
Can someone give me an example of 2 step equation
red=red
red=green
2x+x=9
this is a two step equation
Sure! Here are two equations:
1) Equation 1: 3 + 4 = 7
This equation is true because adding 3 and 4 equals 7.
2) Equation 2: 6 x 2 = 10
This equation is false because multiplying 6 and 2 equals 12, not 10.
Now, let's move on to an example of an open equation that requires two or more steps to solve using the variable x.
3x + 5 = 17
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 5 - 5 = 17 - 5
This simplifies to:
3x = 12
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = 12/3
This simplifies to:
x = 4
By following these two steps, we have successfully solved the open equation: 3x + 5 = 17.
