Two-Step Equations Worksheets
Three two-step forms rotate through the page: ax + b = c, ax − b = c, and x ÷ a + b = c. Undo the addition or subtraction first, then the multiplication or division, and x comes out a positive whole number every time. Coefficients stay small at the easy setting (2 to 5) and grow to 9 at hard, with solutions up to 40. The step-by-step space beside each problem fits two lines of working.

FAQ
Which step comes first?
Undo whatever is furthest from x: the added or subtracted constant. Then undo the coefficient. The problems are built so doing it the other way round produces a fraction, which is a useful red flag.
Do the downloads include answer keys?
Yes, every PDF ends with a key page that repeats the layout with the answers in green. Turn the Answer key switch off for a problems-only file.
Can I get different versions for each student?
Turn on the 5 versions switch before downloading. You get five different sheets in one PDF, each with its own answer key, so neighbouring desks cannot copy.
Why include x ÷ a + b = c?
Because dividing-by form is where students most often multiply the constant too. Having it on the same page as the ax forms makes the difference visible.
Can students work these on a tablet?
Yes. Practice online puts a pen tool over the same sheet, so answers can be written with a stylus or finger and wiped for another try.
