6.10A - Solve 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

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 x: x + 12 = 20

Back

x = 8

Front

Solve for x: x - 8 = -5

Back

x = 3

Front

What is the solution to the equation n - 4 = 12?

Back

n = 16

Front

What is the result of -22 + (-24)?

Back

-46

Front

What is the result of -8 + 20?

Back

12

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x + 12 = 20?

Back

Subtract 12 from both sides.

Front

What operation would you use to solve x - 8 = -5?

Back

Add 8 to both sides.

Front

If n - 4 = 12, what is the operation to isolate n?

Back

Add 4 to both sides.
