Steps to Solving One Step Equations

Solve the equation.

3x = 27.

• x = 24

• x = 81

• x = 9

• not here

Find the solution.

9 + x = 21

• 10

• 12

• 11

• 13

What steps should you take to solve an equation? Check all that apply.

• Isolate the variable

• Do the same on both sides of the equation

• Solve the equation

• Check the solution

What equation is modeled?

• 3x = -6

• 3x = 6

• x = 6

• 3 = 6x

• 0
• 30
• -7
• -10

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5

What is a 1-step problem?

• A problem where multiple operations are present.

• A problem where the variable is missing.

• An equation where only one step is needed to solve it.

• An equation where two steps are needed to solve it.

The objective when solving an equation is to....

• isolate the variable.

• check the solution.
