About This Worksheet
This medium-level worksheet contains 24 problems designed for 8th Grade students practicing two-step equations. Medium worksheets introduce larger numbers and varied question formats to deepen understanding and build fluency.
Two-step equations require sequential, logical thinking — a core algebraic habit of mind. Mastery here directly enables success with multi-step equations, systems, and any algebraic reasoning encountered in later courses.
- Undo two operations in the correct reverse order to solve equations
- Solve two-step equations with rational number coefficients
- Write two-step equations to model real-world situations
- Apply two-step equations to find unknown quantities in geometry formulas
- Solve two-step equations involving negative coefficients and constants
How to Solve: Worked Example
- Add 7 to both sides: 3x − 7 + 7 = 14 + 7 → 3x = 21.
- Divide both sides by 3: 3x ÷ 3 = 21 ÷ 3 → x = 7.
- Check: 3(7) − 7 = 21 − 7 = 14. Correct!
