One-Step Equations and Distributive Property

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single step, typically by performing the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable.

Front

Solve for x: 6b = 30

Back

x = 5

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a number across a sum.

What does it mean to isolate a variable?

Back

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

Front

Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 10

Back

x = 2

What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 3 = 11?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with x.
