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 by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation.

Front

Solve for n: 8 - n = 12

Back

n = -4

Front

Solve for y: 13 + y = 20

Back

y = 7

Front

Solve for x: x + 8 = 15

Back

x = 7

Front

Solve for n: 5n = 30

Back

n = 6

Front

Solve for n: \frac{2}{3}n = 8

Back

n = 12

Front

What operation would you use to isolate n in the equation 8 - n = 12?

Back

You would add n to both sides and subtract 12 from both sides.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 13 + y = 20?

Back

Subtract 13 from both sides.

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 and all other terms are on the other side.

Front
