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 of the equation.

Front

What does it mean to solve an equation?

Back

To solve an equation means to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Front

What is the purpose of using variables in equations?

Back

Variables represent unknown values in equations, allowing us to express relationships and solve problems.

Front

How do you isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

To isolate a variable, perform inverse operations to both sides of the equation until the variable is alone on one side.

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

If 3f = 63, how do you solve for f?

Back

Divide both sides by 3: f = 63 / 3, so f = 21.

Front

In the equation n + 30 = 47, how do you find n?

Back

Subtract 30 from both sides: n = 47 - 30, so n = 17.

Front

What equation represents the total pay for hours worked at a rate of $8 per hour if the total pay is $96?

Back

The equation is 8h = 96.

Front

If b - 30.45 = 95.28, how do you solve for b?

Back

Add 30.45 to both sides: b = 95.28 + 30.45, so b = 125.73.
