One-Step Equation

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step, typically by performing an inverse operation to isolate the variable.

How do you solve the equation 6 + x = 13?

Back

To solve 6 + x = 13, subtract 6 from both sides to isolate x: x = 13 - 6, which gives x = 7.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 3x = 10?

Back

To solve 3x = 10, divide both sides by 3: x = 10 / 3, which simplifies to approximately x = 3.33.

Front

How do you solve the equation 1/2 x = 5?

Back

To solve 1/2 x = 5, multiply both sides by 2 to isolate x: x = 5 * 2, which gives x = 10.

Front

What is the solution to the equation b / -2 = -8?

Back

To solve b / -2 = -8, multiply both sides by -2: b = -8 * -2, which gives b = 16.

Front

How do you solve the equation x - 3 = 4?

Back

To solve x - 3 = 4, add 3 to both sides to isolate x: x = 4 + 3, which gives x = 7.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

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

Back

Isolating a variable means manipulating the equation to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the first step in solving a one-step equation?

Back

The first step in solving a one-step equation is to identify the operation being performed on the variable and then apply the inverse operation.
