1. The first step to solving a 2-Step Equation, like in the problem below, is
to: *
2 points
-3x + 5 = 12
Division: Divide both sides by -3 to isolate the variable.
Addition: Add 3 to both sides to isolate the variable.
Subtraction: Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the variable term.
Multiplication: Multiply by the common denominator 60.
