Solve One Step Equations With Positive Integers

When you solve one-step equations, you can do anything you want to one side of the equal sign, as long as...

• it is mathematical

• you do the SAME thing to the other side

• solving equations is impossible

• I love Snow Days!

What is the correct step to solve for the variable?

15 = m + 5

• add 5 to both sides

• add 15 to both sides

• subtract 15 from both sides

• subtract 5 from both sides

x - 62 = 123
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?

• Subtract 62 from each side. 

• Add 62 to each side.

• Multiply each side by 62.

• Add 123 to each side.

• -2

• 14

• 48

• 2

• 16

• -16

• 10

• -10

Is 5 a solution for 3x + 4 = 19

• yes

• no

What equation matches this situation?
Robyn had some video games then bought 4 more.  Now she has a total of 10 games.

• v - 4 = 10

• v + 4 = 10

• 10 - 4 = v

• Answer not Given

h - 4 = 0

• h = 4

• h = 0

• h = -4

• h = 0

a + 18 = 44

a =

y - 23 = 17

y =
