Solving One Step Equations

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an equation that can be solved in a single step by performing the same operation on both sides to isolate the variable.

Front

What does it mean to isolate a variable in an equation?

Back

Isolating a variable means to get the variable alone on one side of the equation, making it easier to solve.

Front

Solve the equation: 18 + m = 8

Back

m = -10

Front

Solve the equation: x + 7 = 12

Back

x = 5

Front

Solve the equation: 2y = 18

Back

y = 9

Front

Solve the equation: x - 4 = 6

Back

x = 10

Front

Solve the equation: 8 = m - 12

Back

m = 20

Front

What operation would you use to solve x + 5 = 12?

Back

You would subtract 5 from both sides.

Front

What operation would you use to solve 3y = 15?

Back

You would divide both sides by 3.

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation: m + 6 = 14?

Back

Subtract 6 from both sides.
