Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single step by performing the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable.

Front

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

Back

Isolating a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation, making it easier to solve.

Front

Solve the equation: x + 5 = 12

Back

x = 7

Front

Solve the equation: y - 3 = 10

Back

y = 13

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 4 + z = 10?

Back

Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate z.
