9.3 Solving two-step linear equations using multiplication and division: x/a + b = c

Solving Two-Step Equations with Division: x/a + b = c

A clear walkthrough for solving two-step equations shaped like x divided by a, plus b, equals c, using inverse operations in the right order.


What You'll Learn

Equations shaped like x/a + b = c require two inverse operations undone in reverse order of operations
Always isolate the division term first by subtracting or adding b from both sides
Then multiply both sides by a to clear the division and solve for x
Checking your answer by substituting it back into the original equation catches most mistakes
This method builds directly on one-step equations and leads into two-step equations with addition and subtraction

What You'll Practice

1

Solving equations with variables divided by positive and negative numbers

2

Isolating x when equations are written in reverse order

3

Working with real-world word problems involving formulas and substitution

4

Handling equations with negative coefficients and multiple operations

Why This Matters

Mastering two-step equations with multiplication and division builds your algebraic problem-solving toolkit for science formulas, real-world applications, and advanced math courses. You'll use these skills to solve rate problems, conversion formulas, and equations in physics and chemistry.
