Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 20.5 = x + 4

Back

x = 16.5

Front

What operation would you use to isolate 'y' in the equation y - 4.6 = 12?

Back

Front

Solve the equation: y - 4.6 = 12

Back

y = 16.6

Front

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

Back

To isolate a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 3 = c - 1

Back

c = 4

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation c / 4 = 4?

Back

Multiply both sides by 4.

Front

Solve the equation: c / 4 = 4

Back

c = 16

Front
