Step 1) Write the problem down EXAMPLE: 3x + 4 = 54
*with the problem number
Step 2) Solve step-by-step 3x +4 -4 = 54-4
*Show your work 3x = 50
x= 50/3
Step 3) Write your final answer x= 16.67
Step 4) Explain your answer 3(16.67) +4 = 54
54 = 54
My final answer is x=16.67.

Step 1) Write the problem down EXAMPLE: 2y - 8 = 10
Step 2) Solve step-by-step 2y - 8 + 8 = 10 + 8
*Show your work 2y = 18
y = 18/2
y = 9
Step 3) Write your final answer y = 9
Step 4) Explain your answer 2(9) - 8 = 10
18 - 8 = 10
10 = 10
My final answer is y = 9.
