Solve two-step, linear equations quick check

1 answer

1. Solve the equation: 2x + 5 = 11

2x + 5 = 11
Subtract 5 from both sides:
2x = 6
Divide by 2:
x = 3

Therefore, x = 3

2. Solve the equation: 3(y - 2) = 15

3(y - 2) = 15
Distribute the 3:
3y - 6 = 15
Add 6 to both sides:
3y = 21
Divide by 3:
y = 7

Therefore, y = 7
