Solve One and Two-Step Equations

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single operation, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

A two-step equation requires two operations to solve for the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: 3x + 5 = 14

Back

x = 3

Front

Solve the equation: 4y - 7 = 9

Back

y = 4

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation: -5t + 9 = 24?

Back

Subtract 9 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

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 the equation: 9 + d = 16

Back

d = 7

Front

Solve the equation: 2x - 7 = -23

Back

x = -8

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 23 - c = 21?

Back

c = 2
