Give your students clean, no-prep practice solving two-step equations on a single, professionally designed page. A worked example at the top walks students through the two-step process (undo addition/subtraction, then undo multiplication/division), and eight problem cards give plenty of room for showing work — perfect for classwork, homework, sub plans, early finishers, or test review.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 1-page student worksheet (PDF) – 8 problems with a worked example and a "show your work" box for each problem

• 1-page answer key (PDF) – every problem solved step-by-step with the final answer boxed in red

• Mix of positive, negative, and fractional coefficients so students see a real range of cases

TOPICS COVERED

• Solving two-step equations of the form ax + b = c

• Negative coefficients and negative constants

• Equations with x in the numerator of a fraction (x/a ± b = c)

• Inverse operations and isolating the variable

GREAT FOR

• Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 classrooms (Grades 6–9)

• Bell-ringers, exit tickets, and quick formative checks

• Homework and independent practice

• Substitute / emergency sub plans

• Tutoring and intervention sessions

• Test prep and quick spiral review

STANDARDS ALIGNED

• CCSS 7.EE.B.4.a — solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r

• CCSS 8.EE.C.7 — solve linear equations in one variable

• Supports A.REI.B.3 — solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable

FORMAT

• 2 PDFs (1 worksheet, 1 answer key)

• US Letter, print-ready, designed in clean HMF0 brand style

• Black and white printable (color cover for digital previews)

WHY TEACHERS LIKE THIS RESOURCE

Designed by a student-turned-creator who actually had to learn this stuff — every problem is intentional, every layout choice serves the student. No clutter, no fluff, just well-scaffolded practice you can hand out tomorrow.
