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: y - 33 = 147

Back

y = 180

Front

Solve the equation: 0 = 4h

Back

h = 0

Front

Solve the equation: 37x = 333

Back

x = 9

Front

Solve the equation: w - 3.4 = 5.5

Back

w = 8.9

Front

Solve the equation: 20.4x = 183.6

Back

x = 9

Front

What operation would you use to isolate the variable in the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 2y = 10?

Back

Divide both sides by 2.

Front

What does it mean to 'isolate the variable'?

Back

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

Front

If a variable is multiplied by a number, what operation do you perform to solve for the variable?

Back

You divide both sides of the equation by that number.
