Writing & Solving One-Step Equations LC: WRMS

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 involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What does the variable 'v' represent in an equation?

Back

The variable 'v' represents an unknown value that we are trying to find in the equation.

Front

How do you model a situation where you add a number to a variable?

Back

You model it as 'variable + number = total', for example, 'v + 4 = 10'.

Front

How do you model a situation where you subtract a number from a variable?

Back

You model it as 'variable - number = total', for example, 'd - 5 = 37'.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 'm - 12 = 5'?

Back

Add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable m.

Front

What does the equation '3x = 27' represent?

Back

It represents that three times a number x equals 27, which can be solved to find the value of x.

Front

How do you solve the equation '(-1)(16) = -4p'?

Back

Divide both sides by -4 to isolate p, resulting in p = 4.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 'v + 4 = 10'?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to find v = 6.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of modeling real-life situations with equations?

Back

Modeling real-life situations with equations helps to understand and solve problems using mathematical concepts.
