What is a one-step equation?

Back

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

Front

How do you solve the equation y - 14 = 66?

Back

To solve for y, add 14 to both sides: y = 66 + 14, which simplifies to y = 80.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 2x = 10?

Back

To find x, divide both sides by 2: x = 10 / 2, which simplifies to x = 5.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?
