What is the first step to solve the equation 7x - 4 = 3 + 8x?

Back

Isolate the variable by moving all terms involving x to one side and constant terms to the other side.

Front

How do you solve the equation 3x + 7 = -8 for x?

Back

Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = -15, then divide by 3 to find x = -5.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 8x - 10 = -34?

Back

Add 10 to both sides to get 8x = -24, then divide by 8 to find x = -3.

Front

What is the goal of solving one, two, or multi-step equations?

Back

The goal is to find the value of the variable.

Front

How do you solve the equation -8 + 5x - 2 = 20?

Back

Combine like terms to get 5x - 10 = 20, then add 10 to both sides and divide by 5 to find x = 6.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable means to manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side by itself.

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single operation, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation requires two operations to solve for the variable.

Front

What is the principle of equality in solving equations?

Back

The principle of equality states that if you perform the same operation on both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

What is a multi-step equation?

Back

A multi-step equation involves more than two operations to isolate the variable.
