Solving One-Step Equations

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: 144 = 12z.

Back

z = 12

Front

Solve the equation: 3x = 27.

Back

x = 9

What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

Isolating a variable means to manipulate an equation so that the variable is on one side and all other terms are on the other side.

Front

Find the variable: 13 + q = 56.

Back

q = 43

Front

Simplify the expression: 3 + 5x + 8 - 2x.

Back

11 + 3x

Front

What are like terms?

Back

Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, which can be combined by adding or subtracting their coefficients.

Front

Simplify by combining like terms: 7v + 2 + 12 + 2v.

Back

9v + 14

Front

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

Back

The first step is to perform the inverse operation to isolate the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: x + 5 = 10.

Back

x = 5
