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 of the equation.

Front

How do you solve the equation 14 = x - 5?

Back

Add 5 to both sides: 14 + 5 = x, so x = 19.

Front

What is the solution to the equation x - 12 = 24?

Back

Add 12 to both sides: x = 24 + 12, so x = 36.

Front

How do you solve the equation x + 2 = 10?

Back

Subtract 2 from both sides: x = 10 - 2, so x = 8.

Front

What is the solution to the equation j + 68 = 100?

Back

Subtract 68 from both sides: j = 100 - 68, so j = 32.

Front

How do you solve the equation x + 8 = 10?

Back

Subtract 8 from both sides: x = 10 - 8, so x = 2.

Front

What operation do you perform to isolate x in the equation x - 5 = 14?

Back

Add 5 to both sides.

Front

What is the first step to solve x + 2 = 10?

Back

Subtract 2 from both sides.

Front

What does it mean to 'isolate the variable' in an equation?

Back

To isolate the variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.
