Solving Basic One Step Equations

Which of the following are basic rules used for solving algebraic equations? You may have more than one correct answer

• 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 opposite operation

Evaluate

y ÷ 3 = 12

• 36

• -36

• 4

• -4

Solve:

z - 33 = 147

• z= 114

• z = 177

• z = 180

• No Solution

Which equations have w = 8 as the solution? (can be more than one equation)

• 8w= 64

• 16w = 240

• 8 - w = 16

• 48 ÷ w = 6

• 13

• 36

• -36

y + 8 = 20

• 10

• 11

• 12

• 13

Solve for the variable. 3x=-27

• x=9

• x=-30

• x=-9

• x=-24

Solve for x:
8x - 10 = -34

• 4

• 3

• -3

• -24

What is the first step in solving this equation:
5x + 7 = 12

• Divide by 5

• Subtract 5

• Multiply by 7

• Subtract 7

k - 10 = 7

• -3

• 3

• 17

• - 17
