Solve 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, typically by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.

How do you solve the equation x + 5 = 12?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 12 - 5, so x = 7.

Front

What is the Division Property of Equality?

Back

The Division Property of Equality states that if you divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number, the two sides remain equal.

Front

Solve the equation 14x = 56 using the Division Property of Equality.

Back

Divide both sides by 14: x = 56 / 14, so x = 4.

Front

What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?

Back

The Subtraction Property of Equality states that if you subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

How do you solve the equation x - 3 = 10?

Back

Add 3 to both sides: x = 10 + 3, so x = 13.

Front

What is the Addition Property of Equality?

Back

The Addition Property of Equality states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the two sides remain equal.

Front

Solve the equation x + 8 = 15 using the Addition Property of Equality.

Back

Subtract 8 from both sides: x = 15 - 8, so x = 7.

Front

What is a variable in an equation?

Back

A variable is a symbol, often represented by a letter, that stands for an unknown value in an equation.

Front

How do you write an equation for a word problem?

Back

Identify the unknown, define a variable, and translate the words into a mathematical expression or equation.
