- Hey Zach, I'm curious, what did I miss yesterday?
- Oh hey, I forgot to tell you about the funny thing that happened. Yesterday Cody tried answering this math problem, "63x+59=108" But just ended up getting a whole different answer.
- Cody always gets the wrong answer haha. But how do you solve that, I never learned it.
- That's right, you haven't learned 2-step equations yet. It's something we learned in class yesterday.
- Do you think you can teach me?
- Sure man, anything for you. It's quite simple, I'm sure you'll get it quick.
- So first, we are going to look at the numbers that are next to the x-values. Numbers without the x sign, are not supposed to be next to numbers WITH the x symbol.
- Now that you know that rule, we shall apply it to the example that Cody failed to do. 62x-59=65, we must move 59 to the other side, next to 108. To do that, we must add 59 from both sides. 65+59 would be 124. Our equation would look like this now, 62x=124
- hahah
- Now the last step, once you get one number with and without x, divide the number without x by the one with x. In our example, we must divide 124 by 62 to get 2.
- And that's how Cody failed at math!
