2 step equations are equations that require 2 steps to solve it.
For example, 2x + 5 = 3x + 6
To solve for x, we must isolate it.
First subtract 2x on both sides, which is ONE step.
2x + 5 = 3x + 6
-2x -2x
5 = x + 6
The we must subtract 6 from both sides of the equation, which makes is the second step.
5 = x + 6
-6 -6
-1 = x
-1 would be the answer and we only used 2 steps to solve it.
