Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

An equation that can be solved in one step, typically by performing a single operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) to isolate the variable.

Front

What is a two-step equation?

Back

An equation that requires two steps to solve, usually involving two operations to isolate the variable.

Front

Solve for x: x + 5 = 12

Back

x = 7

Front

Solve for x: 3x = 15

Back

x = 5

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 6 = 14?

Back
