one step equations

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in a single step, typically by performing the inverse operation to isolate the variable.

Front

How do you solve the equation 4p = 16?

Back

To solve for p, divide both sides by 4: p = 16 / 4, which simplifies to p = 4.

Front

What is the inverse operation of subtraction?

Back

The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Front

How do you solve the equation 5 = f - 2?

Back

To solve for f, add 2 to both sides: f = 5 + 2, which simplifies to f = 7.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

How do you solve the equation -6x = 30?

Back

To solve for x, divide both sides by -6: x = 30 / -6, which simplifies to x = -5.

Front

What is the solution to the equation \( \frac{t}{-8} = -5 \)?

Back

To solve for t, multiply both sides by -8: t = -5 * -8, which simplifies to t = 40.

Front

How do you solve the equation 3 = \( \frac{c}{-11} \)?

Back

To solve for c, multiply both sides by -11: c = 3 * -11, which simplifies to c = -33.

Front

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

Back

The first step is to identify the operation being performed on the variable and then apply the inverse operation.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means to manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side by itself, allowing you to find its value.
