Question
what happens to the order of operations when you’re solving a two - step equation? choose one option a it stays the same. b it only applies when you have to divide by a negative number. c it reverses, so addition and subtraction come before multiplication and divisio d it doesn’t matter what operation you do first because all equations are commutative.
When solving two-step equations, we isolate the variable by undoing operations in reverse order of the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we undo addition/subtraction, then multiplication/division to solve for the variable.
