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

How do you solve the equation: 8 = x - 1?

Back

Add 1 to both sides: 8 + 1 = x, so x = 9.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: x ÷ 2 = 12?

Back

Multiply both sides by 2: x = 12 * 2, so x = 24.

Front

How do you solve the equation: -10x = -90?

Back

Divide both sides by -10: x = -90 / -10, so x = 9.

Front

What is the solution to the equation: 144 = 12z?

Back

Divide both sides by 12: z = 144 / 12, so z = 12.

Front

How do you solve the equation: x ÷ 13 = 8?

Back

Multiply both sides by 13: x = 8 * 13, so x = 104.

Front

What operation would you use to isolate x in the equation: x - 5 = 10?

Back

Add 5 to both sides to isolate x.

Front

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

Back

The inverse operation of multiplication is division.

Front

If x + 3 = 7, what is x?

Back

Subtract 3 from both sides: x = 7 - 3, so x = 4.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: 5x = 25?

Back

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.
