Solving One Step Equations with Variables on One Side

4x + 10 = -26

• 4

• -4

• -9

• 9

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

• isolate the variable.

• check the solution.

• guess and check.

• Combine Like Terms.

The goal of solving a one, two, or multi-step equations is to:

• Find the coefficient

• Find the value of the variable

• Find the constant

• Be confused

2x - 3 + 4x = 27

• 12

• 4

• 5

• 15

• x = 2

• x = -2

• x = -10

• x = 4

• a= -2

• a= -7.5

• a= 2

• a= 6

• a= 9

• a= -9

• a= -5

• a= 5

Solve for x.

• 55

• 60

• 15

• 35

After moving the constant to one side in the following equation, what would be the result: 70x + 48 = -22

• 70x = 70

• 70x = -70

• 70x + 70 = 0

Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20

• x = -20

• x = -5

• x = 5
