Step-by-step solution for: Two-Step Equations - Kuta Software - Worksheets Library
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a math worksheet titled "Answer GRID", which contains a 3×4 grid of linear equations. The instructions say: *"Cross off each answer, then total..."* — but the full instruction is cut off.
However, based on the layout and typical structure of such worksheets, this appears to be a "cross off" or "elimination" activity where students solve each equation, find the value of $ x $, and then cross off that answer from a list (not shown here), possibly to reveal a pattern, word, or final sum.
But since the answer choices or values to cross off are not visible, we can't complete the "cross off" part without more information.

Let’s go through each equation in the grid and solve for $ x $. We'll organize them by color rows:
---
#### 🔴 RED Row
1. $ 17 = 6x + 5 $
$ 17 - 5 = 6x $ → $ 12 = 6x $ → $ x = 2 $
2. $ 3x + 12 = 24 $
$ 3x = 12 $ → $ x = 4 $
3. $ 14 = 4x - 10 $
$ 14 + 10 = 4x $ → $ 24 = 4x $ → $ x = 6 $
4. $ 4x + 7 = ? $ ← Incomplete!
This one is missing the right-hand side. It says $ 4x + 7 = $, but nothing follows. Likely a typo or missing number. We’ll skip it for now.
---
#### 🟡 AMBER Row
5. $ 4x - 5 = 5 $
$ 4x = 10 $ → $ x = 2.5 $ or $ \frac{5}{2} $
6. $ 36 = 6x - 24 $
$ 36 + 24 = 6x $ → $ 60 = 6x $ → $ x = 10 $
7. $ 8x + 6 = 10 $
$ 8x = 4 $ → $ x = 0.5 $ or $ \frac{1}{2} $
8. $ 19 = 2x + 7 $? Wait — actually, it says: $ 19 = 2x + $ ← Missing number!
Probably meant to be $ 19 = 2x + 7 $? Or $ 19 = 2x + 1 $? Not clear. Let's assume it's a typo and maybe it's $ 19 = 2x + 7 $? Then:
$ 19 - 7 = 2x $ → $ 12 = 2x $ → $ x = 6 $
But since it's incomplete, we can’t be sure.
Wait — looking again: it says $ 19 = 2x + $, no number. So this equation is incomplete.
---
#### 🟢 GREEN Row
9. $ 20 = 8x - 8 $
$ 20 + 8 = 8x $ → $ 28 = 8x $ → $ x = 3.5 $ or $ \frac{7}{2} $
10. $ 4x + 20 = 12 $
$ 4x = -8 $ → $ x = -2 $
11. $ 1 = 3x + 10 $
$ 1 - 10 = 3x $ → $ -9 = 3x $ → $ x = -3 $
12. $ 4x + 12 = ? $ ← Incomplete
Again, no right-hand side. Possibly $ 4x + 12 = 0 $? If so:
$ 4x = -12 $ → $ x = -3 $
But we don’t know.
13. $ 7x - 10 = -17 $
$ 7x = -7 $ → $ x = -1 $
14. $ 12 = 24 - 2x $
$ 2x = 24 - 12 = 12 $ → $ x = 6 $
15. $ 4x + 6 = 0 $
$ 4x = -6 $ → $ x = -1.5 $ or $ -\frac{3}{2} $
16. $ 15 = 3 - ? $ ← Incomplete
Says $ 15 = 3 - $, missing something. Probably $ 15 = 3 - 2x $? Or $ 15 = 3 - x $?
If $ 15 = 3 - x $, then $ x = -12 $, but that seems unlikely.

Let’s list all equations that are complete and solvable:
| Equation | Solution |
|--------|---------|
| $ 17 = 6x + 5 $ | $ x = 2 $ |
| $ 3x + 12 = 24 $ | $ x = 4 $ |
| $ 14 = 4x - 10 $ | $ x = 6 $ |
| $ 4x - 5 = 5 $ | $ x = 2.5 $ |
| $ 36 = 6x - 24 $ | $ x = 10 $ |
| $ 8x + 6 = 10 $ | $ x = 0.5 $ |
| $ 20 = 8x - 8 $ | $ x = 3.5 $ |
| $ 4x + 20 = 12 $ | $ x = -2 $ |
| $ 1 = 3x + 10 $ | $ x = -3 $ |
| $ 7x - 10 = -17 $ | $ x = -1 $ |
| $ 12 = 24 - 2x $ | $ x = 6 $ |
| $ 4x + 6 = 0 $ | $ x = -1.5 $ |
Now, let’s look at the missing ones:
- $ 4x + 7 = ? $ → missing RHS
- $ 19 = 2x + ? $ → missing constant
- $ 4x + 12 = ? $ → missing RHS
- $ 15 = 3 - ? $ → missing term
These likely have typos or were cut off in the image.

This type of worksheet often has:
- Students solve each equation.
- Then they use the solution values (like $ x = 2, 4, 6, etc.) to cross off numbers** on a separate list (e.g., numbers 1–12).
- After crossing off, the remaining numbers might spell a word or give a total.
But since no answer list or total instruction is visible, we can only solve what we can.

Here are the solutions to the complete equations:
| Equation | Solution |
|--------|---------|
| $ 17 = 6x + 5 $ | $ x = 2 $ |
| $ 3x + 12 = 24 $ | $ x = 4 $ |
| $ 14 = 4x - 10 $ | $ x = 6 $ |
| $ 4x - 5 = 5 $ | $ x = 2.5 $ |
| $ 36 = 6x - 24 $ | $ x = 10 $ |
| $ 8x + 6 = 10 $ | $ x = 0.5 $ |
| $ 20 = 8x - 8 $ | $ x = 3.5 $ |
| $ 4x + 20 = 12 $ | $ x = -2 $ |
| $ 1 = 3x + 10 $ | $ x = -3 $ |
| $ 7x - 10 = -17 $ | $ x = -1 $ |
| $ 12 = 24 - 2x $ | $ x = 6 $ |
| $ 4x + 6 = 0 $ | $ x = -1.5 $ |
Note: $ x = 6 $ appears twice.

Let’s guess what the missing parts might be:
1. $ 4x + 7 = ? $ → Maybe $ 4x + 7 = 15 $? Then $ 4x = 8 $, $ x = 2 $
2. $ 19 = 2x + ? $ → Maybe $ 19 = 2x + 11 $? Then $ 2x = 8 $, $ x = 4 $
3. $ 4x + 12 = ? $ → Maybe $ 4x + 12 = 0 $? Then $ x = -3 $
4. $ 15 = 3 - ? $ → Maybe $ 15 = 3 - (-12) $? Unlikely. More likely $ 15 = 3 - 2x $? Then $ 2x = -12 $, $ x = -6 $
But without confirmation, we can't be sure.

✔ Solutions to complete equations are:
$$
x = 2, 4, 6, 2.5, 10, 0.5, 3.5, -2, -3, -1, 6, -1.5
$$
If the task is to find the sum of all solutions, we can compute that:
Sum:
$$
2 + 4 + 6 + 2.5 + 10 + 0.5 + 3.5 + (-2) + (-3) + (-1) + 6 + (-1.5)
$$
Break it down:
Positive: $ 2 + 4 + 6 + 2.5 + 10 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 6 = 34 $
Negative: $ -2 -3 -1 -1.5 = -7.5 $
Total: $ 34 - 7.5 = 26.5 $
So sum of solvable equations' solutions is 26.5
But if the goal is to cross off answers, we need the original list of numbers to cross off.

$ 2x = 24 - 12 = 12 $ → $ x = 6 $
15. $ 4x + 6 = 0 $
$ 4x = -6 $ → $ x = -1.5 $ or $ -\frac{3}{2} $
16. $ 15 = 3 - ? $ ← Incomplete
Says $ 15 = 3 - $, missing something. Probably $ 15 = 3 - 2x $? Or $ 15 = 3 - x $?
If $ 15 = 3 - x $, then $ x = -12 $, but that seems unlikely.

Missing Equations – Possible Fixes?
Let’s guess what the missing parts might be:
1. $ 4x + 7 = ? $ → Maybe $ 4x + 7 = 15 $? Then $ 4x = 8 $, $ x = 2 $
2. $ 19 = 2x + ? $ → Maybe $ 19 = 2x + 11 $? Then $ 2x = 8 $, $ x = 4 $
3. $ 4x + 12 = ? $ → Maybe $ 4x + 12 = 0 $? Then $ x = -3 $
4. $ 15 = 3 - ? $ → Maybe $ 15 = 3 - (-12) $? Unlikely. More likely $ 15 = 3 - 2x $? Then $ 2x = -12 $, $ x = -6 $
But without confirmation, we can't be sure.

Conclusion
✔ Solutions to complete equations are:
$$
x = 2, 4, 6, 2.5, 10, 0.5, 3.5, -2, -3, -1, 6, -1.5
$$
If the task is to find the sum of all solutions, we can compute that:
Sum:
$$
2 + 4 + 6 + 2.5 + 10 + 0.5 + 3.5 + (-2) + (-3) + (-1) + 6 + (-1.5)
$$
Break it down:
Positive: $ 2 + 4 + 6 + 2.5 + 10 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 6 = 34 $
Negative: $ -2 -3 -1 -1.5 = -7.5 $
Total: $ 34 - 7.5 = 26.5 $
So sum of solvable equations' solutions is 26.5
But if the goal is to cross off answers, we need the original list of numbers to cross off.
