Write and Solve One-Step Equations/Ineq.

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 for y: y + 12 = -15

Back

y = -27

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation b - 30.45 = 95.28?

Back

Add 30.45 to both sides of the equation.

Front

Solve for m: 16 = m/8

Back

m = 128

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

Solve for m: m - 14 = 76

Back

m = 90

Front

What is the solution to the equation x + 30 = 100?

Back

x = 70

Front

What operation would you use to solve the equation x - 5 = 10?

Back

Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions and shows that one is greater than, less than, or not equal to the other.

Front

How do you check if your solution to an equation is correct?

Back

Substitute the solution back into the original equation to see if both sides are equal.
