one step equations

Solve for p in the following equation:

4p = 16

• p = 12

• p = 64

• p = 3

• p = 4

• 13

• 36

• -36

Solve for the variable (a) in the following equation:

32 = -8a

• 4

• -4

• 40

• 24

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?

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

• Add 7 to both sides.

  The solution is x = 19.

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

What would be the best first step to solving the equation?
-3=x+5

• add 3 to both sides
• subtract 5 from both sides
• add 5 to both sides
• subtract -5 from both sides

What would be the best first step to solving the equation?
-6x=-24

• multiply both sides by -6
• divide both sides by -6
• add 6  to both sides
• subtract -6  from both sides

Solve: -11 = n - 6

• 17 = n

• -17 = n

• 5 = n

• -5 = n

Solve: m + 18 = -8

• m = 26

• m = -26

• m = 10

• m = -10

Solve: -9 = 28 + y

• 37 = y

• -37 = y

• 29 = y

• -29 = y

Solve: 56 = -7x

• 8 = x

• -8 = x

• 392 = x

• -392 = x
