One Step Equations (Addition and Subtraction)

Front

What is a one-step equation?

Back

A one-step equation is an algebraic equation that can be solved in one operation, either by addition or subtraction.

Front

Solve for z: 6 + z = 14

Back

z = 8

Front

Solve for x: x + 3 = 11

Back

x = 8

Front

Solve for y: y - 6 = 5

Back

y = 11

Front

Solve for y: y + 10 = 22

Back

y = 12

Front

Solve for b: 7 = b - 8

Back

Front

What is the inverse operation of addition?

Back

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

Front

What is the inverse operation of subtraction?

Back

The inverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Front

If you have the equation x + a = b, how do you solve for x?

Back

Subtract a from both sides: x = b - a.

Front

If you have the equation y - b = c, how do you solve for y?

Back

Add b to both sides: y = c + b.
