Solving One-Step Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step equations by isolating the variable using inverse operations. It provides a step-by-step guide and examples for solving equations involving subtraction, division, and multiplication. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation by performing the opposite operation on both sides. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the steps to ensure successful problem-solving.

What is the first step in solving a one-step equation?

• Subtract a number from both sides

• Add a number to both sides

• Draw a line through the equal sign

• Multiply both sides by the same number

What does the term 'inverse operation' mean?

• The same operation

• The opposite operation

• An unrelated operation

• A complex operation

In the equation v - 10 = -9, what operation should be used to isolate v?

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 10

• Add 10 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 10

What is the result of solving the equation v - 10 = -9?

• v = 1

• v = -1

• v = 19

• v = -19

In the equation x/5 = 2, what operation should be used to isolate x?

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Divide both sides by 5

• Subtract 5 from both sides

• Add 5 to both sides

What is the result of solving the equation x/5 = 2?

• x = 7

• x = 5

• x = 10

• x = 2

In the equation -11k = 22, what operation should be used to isolate k?

• Subtract 11 from both sides

• Add 11 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by -11

• Divide both sides by -11

What is the result of solving the equation -11k = 22?

• k = -22

• k = 2

• k = 22

• k = -2

What is the main goal when solving one-step equations?

• To find the value of the variable

• To eliminate the variable

• To balance the equation

• To simplify the equation

What should you do if you follow the steps shown in the examples?

• You will struggle with solving equations

• You will be successful in solving one-step equations

• You will need to memorize the steps

• You will need additional help
