Solve 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 for m: m - 14 = 76

Back

m = 90

Front

What operation would you use to isolate the variable in the equation x + 23 = -45?

Back

You would subtract 23 from both sides.

Front

Solve for x: x + 23 = -45

Back

x = -68

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 and all other terms are on the other side.

Front

Solve for a: -60 = 5a

Back

a = -12

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 5x = 25?

Back

Divide both sides by 5.

Front

Solve for x: 5x = 25

Back

x = 5

Front

What is the solution to the equation x - 10 = 5?

Back

x = 15

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation 3y = 12?

Back

You would divide both sides by 3.
