One Step Equations and Properties of Equality

A mathematical sentence stating that two expressions are equal is called an __________

• inequality

• equation

• expression

• identity

In the equation, 2x - 3 = 5, you would use the addition property of equality to move the __________.

• 2

• x

• 3

• 5

The first possible step in solving the equation 2x + 3x + 1 = 13 is to _________

• Divide both sides by 5

• Combine like terms

• Subtract 13

• Multipy both sides by 1

Which properties would be used to solve this equation?(Check all that apply) 2(3x + 5) = 4 6x + 10 = 4 6x = -6 x = -1

• Addition Property of Equality

• Subtraction Property of Equality

• Distributive Property

• Division Property of Equality

What property of equality do we use first to start solving this equation: 7x - 5 = 16 ?

• Addition Property

• Division Property

• Multiplication Property

• Subtraction Property

Solve for p: 5p + 18 = 38

What is the value of p when 4 = p + 19?

What is the value of n when 14 - 4n = 54 ?

• -28

• -272

• -10

• -160

What is the value of x?

x - 62 = 123

How should you show your work to isolate the variable (x) and solve the equation?

• Add 62 to each side.

• Subtract 62 from each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.
