In this unit, you solved two-step equations. A two-step equation is an equation of the
form px +q=r. It takes two steps to solve for the variable x. For example, 3x + (-5) =
19 is a two-step equation. How could you transform this particular equation to create a
three-step equation? List several ways you could transform it using common math
operations
Next, try solving one of the three-step equations you created for x. (Use a guess and
check strategy, if necessary) What additional step was required to find the solution? In
your opinion, is solving a three-step equation more difficult than solving a two-step
equation? Why or why not? Do you think there is a limit to the number of steps it takes
to solve an equation? Explain.

Equations can be solved in one or more steps

When the solution of an equation involves two steps, then the equation is a two-step equation.

However, if the solution involves three steps, then such equation is a three-step equation.

Two-step equation

The equation is given as:

[tex]3x +(-5) = 19[/tex]

One of the ways the above equation can be transformed to a three-step equation is as follows

[tex]3x +(-5) = 19[/tex]

Remove brackets

[tex]3x -5 = 19[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]3x= 24[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x= 8[/tex]

Another way is as follows:

[tex]3x +(-5) = 19[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]3x = 19 - (-5)[/tex]

Evaluate like terms

[tex]3x= 24[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x= 8[/tex]

Three-step equation

An example of a three-step equation is:

[tex]3(x + 1) = 5 +x[/tex]

Start by opening the brackets

[tex]3x + 1 = 5 +x[/tex]

Collect and evaluate like terms

[tex]2x=4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x=2[/tex]
