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.

Back

v = 79

Front

Solve for w: w - 3.4 = 5.5

Back

w = 8.9

Front

What operation would you use to isolate n in the equation n - 18 = 3?

Back

You would add 18 to both sides of the equation.

Front

What operation would you use to isolate n in the equation n/12 = 4?

Back

You would multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

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 and all other terms are on the other side.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation v - 35 = 44?

Back

Add 35 to both sides of the equation.
