Solving One-Step Equations (no negatives)

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic 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 manipulate the equation so that the variable is on one side by itself, allowing you to find its value.

Front

Solve for n: 2 + n = 16

Back

n = 14

Front

Solve for x: x + 12 = 20

Back

x = 8

Front

Solve for x: x - 7 = 2

Back

x = 9

Front

What operation do you perform to isolate X in the equation 20 = \frac{X}{2}?

Back

Multiply both sides by 2.

Front

Solve for q: 13 + q = 56

Back

q = 43

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x + 5 = 10?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 3 + x = 10?

Back

x = 7

Front

If 5 + y = 12, what is y?

Back
