Question

What is a 2 step equation that equals to 14

Answer 1

Answer: Do you want x=14 or for it to equal 14, because I have it both ways. For x=14, an acceptable two step equation would be 2x-5=23. If you want it to equal 14, then you can write 5x-1=14

Explanation:

For x=14:

2x-5=23

Add 5 on both sides

2x=28

x=14

For the equation to equal 14:

5x-1=14

Add one on both sides

5x=15

x=3

Answer 2

2x + 1 = 29

Explanation:

There are a lot of answers.

2x + 1 = 29

2x + 1 = 29 Subtract 1 from both sides

2x = 28 Divide both sides by s

x = 14

Start off knowing that x will be 14, then multiply 14 by some number and then add or subtract some number from that and put that on the other side of the equal sign.

x = 14

14 x 2 = 28 and then add 1 to that to get 29

2x + 1 = 29
