One and Two Step Equations Review

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

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

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation is an equation that requires two operations to isolate the variable, typically involving addition or subtraction followed by multiplication or division.

Front

Solve the equation: 6b = 30

Back

b = 5

Front

Solve the equation: 5x + 4 = -6

Back

x = -2

Front

Solve the equation: 3 + (1/4)a = 31

Back

a = 112

Front

Solve the equation: -5x = 25

Back

x = -5

Front

Solve the equation: 7 + a/3 = 5

Back

a = -6

Front

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 of the equation by itself.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 2x + 3 = 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x = 8.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 4x - 8 = 0?

Back

x = 2
