Solving One Step Equations

Which of the following are basic rules used for solving algebraic equations?

• Always do the opposite operation

• Negative signs can be ignored

• Whatever you do to one side of the equal sign, you must copy and do on the other side of the equal sign

• Always start on the left side, regardless of where the variable is

• Divide both sides by 11

• Multiply both sides by 11

• Add 11 to both sides

• Subtract 11 to both sides

In the equation

x + 7 = 12

7 is being added to the variable, x.

How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• add 7 to x then multiply 7x and 12

• Multiply both sides by 7 The solution is x = 84

• Add 7 to both sides.

  The solution is x = 19.

• Subtract 7 from both sides. The solution is x = 5.
