Solve One Step Equation Given A Variable

Select the following basic rules used for solving one step equations?

• Whatever you do to one side of the equal sign, you must copy and do on the other side of the equal sign

• Negative signs can be ignored

• Always start on the left side, regardless of where the variable is

• Always do the inverse operation

Solve for y in the following equation:

• 36

• -36

• 4

• -4

Solve for z in the following equation:

z - 33 = 147

• z = 114

• z = 177

• z = 180

• no solution

The FIRST step to solving one step equations is ????????

• Use the inverse on both sides to solve

• identify the variable

• find out the operation in the problem

The THIRD step to solving one step equations is ????????

• Use the inverse on both sides to solve

• identify the variable

• find out the operation in the problem

SOLVE 10=z+6

8y = 48

q - 12 = 1

What equation matches this situation? Robyn had some video games then bought 4 more. Now she has a total of 10 games.

• v - 4 = 10

• v + 4 = 10

• 10 - 4 = v

• Answer not given

What is the correct step to solve for the variable ?

• subtract 7 from both sides.

• add 7 to both sides.

• multiply both sides by 7

• divide both sides by 7
