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 does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation, making it easier to find its value.

Front

Solve for x: 9 + x = 18

Back

x = 9

Front

Solve for x: 10/x = 2

Back

x = 5

Front

Solve for x: x - 12 = 2

Back

x = 14

Front

Solve for x: x - 4 = 5

Back

x = 9

Front

Solve for x: 7 + x = 15

Back

x = 8

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

You would subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x - 3 = 4?

Back

Add 3 to both sides to isolate x.

Front

If 4x = 20, what is x?

Back

x = 5
