What is something you do that can be set up as a two step equation? How would you set that up as an equation to explain to someone else how it can be solved?

As the name implies, a two-step equation is an equation that is solved in just two steps. There are several two-step equations; an example that can be set up as a two-step equation is a target savings with an initial amount and a constant rate of savings.

To set up the target savings equation, we consider the following parameters (I will assume values for the parameters).

Let x be the number of savings.

----- the equation

Mathematically, we have:

The equation is solved as follows:

The first step is to isolate the variable term by subtracting 50 from both sides

So, we have:

The second step is to solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2

This means that you have to save $2 in 475 times to reach the target amount

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x
