Provide the steps to solve two-step equations.

-20+20w=73
You need to get your variable by itself. Try to section your problem off if you need to. I always like to do my order of operations backwards. The inverse operation of -20 is adding 20 so to cancel that out you need to add 20 to each side. Now you are left with 20w=93.Now you need to get rid of the 20. The inverse of multiplying is dividing. So divide both sides by 20. You are left with 1w=4.65. Which is the same w=4.65 or you could say w=4 13/20. Hope this helps.

− 20 + 20 w = 73 20 w = 93 w = 20 93 ​

To solve a two-step equation, first eliminate the constant by performing the inverse operation, then isolate the variable by dividing or multiplying as necessary. Finally, check your answer by substituting it back into the original equation. This method helps to find the correct value for the variable step by step.
