One Step Equation Word Problems

Solve for x
17 = x + 3

• x = 20
• x = 14
• x = 13
• x = 19

x - 4 = 17

• x = 21
• x = 13
• x = 19
• x = 24

x + 24 = 44

• x = -20
• x = 68
• x = 20
• x = -68

c - 11 = 9

• c = -2
• c = -20
• c= 2
• c = 20

5.    6b = 30

• x = 36
• x = 24
• x = 180
• x = 5

r/4 = 13

• r = 17

• r = 52

• r = 27

• r = 9

c/16 = 2

• c = 1
• c = 2
• c = 32
• c = 18

To solve the equation
x + 5 = 8
 I would ....

• subtract 5 from x

• subtract 5 from both sides

• subtract 5 from one side and add 5 to the other

• add 5 to both sides

in 3a =12,
I would....

• add 3 to both sides
• subtract 3 from both sides
• divide both sides by 3
• divide just the right by 3

a ÷ 5 = 30

• a = 6

• a = 30

• can't be solved

• a = 150
