How to solve one step equations

The video tutorial covers solving one-step equations by identifying the operation applied to the variable and using inverse operations to solve it. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the properties of equality and applying operations equally on both sides of the equation.

What is the first step in solving a one-step equation?

• Identify the operation applied to the variable

• Identify the variable

• Write the equation on paper

• Guess the solution

Which of the following is NOT one of the four basic operations used in equations?

• Division

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Exponentiation

How is multiplication typically represented in equations?

• With a division sign

• With a minus sign

• With a plus sign

• By placing a number next to a variable

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

• Division

• Addition

• Exponentiation

• Subtraction

Why is it important to apply operations to both sides of an equation?

• To maintain equality

• To make the equation longer

• To confuse the solver

• To change the variable
