Solve Equation One Step

Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20

• x = -20

• x = -5

• x = 5

y/-5 = 20

• y = 100

• y = -4

• y = -100

• y = -15

x + 12 = -15

• x = 3

• x = 27

• x = -27

• x = -3

0 = 4g

• g = 4

• g = 1

• g = -4

• g = 0

When you solve one-step equations, you can do anything you want to one side of the equal sign, as long as...

• it is mathematical

• you do the SAME thing to the other side

• solving equations is impossible

In solving an equation, the ultimate goal is to get the variable...

• on one side

• to disappear

• by itself

• to sing and dance

What is the correct first step to solve this equation: x + 5 = 15

• add 5 to both sides

• add 15 to both sides

• subtract 15 from both sides

• subtract 5 from both sides

What is the correct first step to solve the equation: x + 9 = 12

• add 9 to both sides

• add 12 to both sides

• subtract 12 from both sides

• subtract 9 from both sides

What is the correct first step to solve the equation:

• add 20 to both sides

• add 12 to both sides

• subtract 12 from both sides

• subtract 20 from both sides
