Solving One-Step Equations

Which of the following matches the word sentence:

65 is the product of h and 24

Answer explanation

Product means to multiply.

Remember to put the coefficient first followed by the variable with no symbol.

Which equation means the same as:

4 less than g is the same as 12

Answer explanation

Less than is a "flipper".

• g more than 6 is 42

• the quotient of 6 and g is 42

• the product of g and 6 is 42

• 42 equals 6 divided by g

Which equation matches the problem:

You have h hats. Your friend has 3 hats. Together, you and your friend have 16 hats. How many hats do you have?

True or false: m = 5 is a solution to the equation

m + 20 = 25

• true

• false

Solve: b - 3 = 13

type in a number only, not "b = "

Solve: g + 20 = 45

type in only a number

Answer explanation

To solve a division equation, multiply both sides by the divisor. So in this case, multiply both sides by 2.

Answer explanation

Multiply the reciprocal of the fraction times 6.
