Sure! To solve a two-step equation, you typically follow these steps:
1. **Isolate the variable:** Use addition or subtraction to get the term with the variable alone on one side of the equation.
2. **Eliminate the coefficient:** Use multiplication or division to solve for the variable.
For example, consider the equation:
\[ 3x + 5 = 20 \]
**Step 1:** Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[ 3x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5 \]
\[ 3x = 15 \]
**Step 2:** Divide by 3:
\[ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3} \]
\[ x = 5 \]
Thus, the solution is \( x = 5 \).
