One Step Equations (Multiplication and Division)

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single step, typically involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Front

How do you solve the equation 45 = 9z?

Back

To solve for z, divide both sides by 9: z = 45 / 9 = 5.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 12 = 6w?

Back

To solve for w, divide both sides by 6: w = 12 / 6 = 2.

Front

How do you solve the equation 7z = 56?

Back

To solve for z, divide both sides by 7: z = 56 / 7 = 8.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 27 = 9a?

Back

To solve for a, divide both sides by 9: a = 27 / 9 = 3.

Front

How do you solve the equation 10b = 80?

Back

To solve for b, divide both sides by 10: b = 80 / 10 = 8.

Front

What is the principle of inverse operations in solving equations?

Back

The principle of inverse operations states that to isolate a variable, you can perform the opposite operation (e.g., if the variable is multiplied, divide it to isolate).

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, making it easier to solve.

Front

What is the first step in solving a one-step multiplication equation?

Back

The first step is to divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable.

Front

What is the first step in solving a one-step division equation?

Back

The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by the divisor to eliminate the division.
