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

How do you solve the equation 3x = 27?

Back

Divide both sides by 3: x = 27 / 3, so x = 9.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 6b = 30?

Back

Divide both sides by 6: b = 30 / 6, so b = 5.

Front

How do you solve the equation 2n = 100?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: n = 100 / 2, so n = 50.

Front

What is the solution to the equation ¼n = 3?

Back

Multiply both sides by 4: n = 3 * 4, so n = 12.

Front

What operation would you use to isolate x in the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 12 - 5.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation x - 7 = 3?

Back

Add 7 to both sides: x = 3 + 7.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 5x = 45?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x = 45 / 5, so x = 9.

Front

How do you solve the equation 8 = 2x?

Back

Divide both sides by 2: x = 8 / 2, so x = 4.
