One Step Equations

Solving Equations

• Use inverse operation to isolate the variable

• Keep the equation balanced by performing the operation to both sides of the equal sign.

Solve y +14=20

• The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

• Subtract 14 from both sides of the equal sign

• 20-14=6

• y=6

Solve x -120 = 80

• The inverse operation of subtraction is addition

• Add 120 to both sides of the equal sign.

• 80 +120= 200

• x=200

Solve 3n=12

• The inverse operation of multiplication is division

• Divide both sides by 3

• 12/3=4

• n=4

Solve  $\frac{k}{2}=16$  

• The inverse operation of division  is multiplication 

• Multiply both sides by 2

• 16(2)=32

• k=32
