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, typically by performing the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable.

Front

Solve the equation: -5x = 25

Back

x = -5

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 3x = 12?

Back

Divide both sides by 3.

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

Solve the equation: x/5 = 20

Back

x = 100

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

Simplify: 2(c - 8)

Back

2c - 16

Front

Is (7a + 4 - 2a) equivalent to (7a + -2a + 4)?

Back

Yes

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 4x + 8 = 24?

Back

x = 4

Front

What operation would you perform to both sides of the equation: x - 5 = 10?

Back

Add 5 to both sides.
