Solve 1-Step Equations

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

Solve for x: x - 9 = 2

Back

x = 11

Front

What operation would you use to solve x + 12 = 20?

Back

You would subtract 12 from both sides.

Front

Solve for w: w - 4 = 18

Back

w = 22

Front

What is the first step to solve 6b = 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 6.

Front

Solve for x: 5 + x = 10

Back

x = 5

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

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

Front

Solve for x: x + 12 = 20

Back

x = 8

Front

What is the solution to the equation 6b = 30?

Back

b = 5

Front

If x - 9 = 2, what is x?

Back

x = 11
