Solving 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.

Front

Solve the equation: 2y = 18

Back

y = 9

Front

What operation would you use to isolate 'b' in the equation 18 = 3b?

Back

You would divide both sides by 3.

Front

Solve the equation: 18 = 3b

Back

b = 6

Front

Which equation has w = 8 as the solution? 1) 8w = 64 2) 16w = 240 3) 16 - w = 9 4) 4 + w = 10

Back

8w = 64

Front

Solve the equation: 20.5 = x + 4

Back

x = 16.5

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 8 = m - 12?

Back

Add 12 to both sides of the equation.

Front

Solve the equation: 8 = m - 12

Back

m = 20

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

If you have the equation x + 5 = 12, what is the value of x?

Back

x = 7
